RE: Making Contact wiv Your MP's

Hi everyone ,
What can people do to help ? There is something everyone can do , Find your MP - click on the link below & enter your post code ,http://www.upmystreet.com/commons/l/ When you get there name for your area, call there office at this number, ( 020 7219 3000 ) - House of Commons They all have an office there, ask to speak to your MP's office and ask to arrange a meeting at there Surgery,

they will meet you its there job If you explain your involvement and that you would like there support for what you are doing as forming part of a Commission for Youth Social Enterprise for young people by young people,

and following meeting Phil Hope - ( Minister ) he suggested for us to contact our MPs ,if as many of us can do this it will make a big difference , 1 MP has already confirmed there support and that we will be able to use a meeting room at Parliament if needed.

letter of there support for the commsion would be fineRegardles it will a good idea to let your MP know about your work in the comunity anyway,they will also be aware of other ways they maybe able to help assist you maybe with funding or as a Referance as Phill Hope Suggested ,

As ?What If! and UnLtd pursue other initiatives for young social entrepreneurs we will call upon the group to support and help design this work. UnLtd have already begun work exploring ways to continue BigBoost funding and will involve the Commission in driving this process forward


?What If! and UnLtd will strive to ensure there is a Summer Academy 2008 and we will involve the group in the design and running of the course.
