This year, I’m lacing up my running shoes and taking on a half marathon to raise vital funds for the Patchwork Foundation, an incredible charity that works to engage young people from underrepresented backgrounds in politics and public life.

Every mile I run is a step towards creating a more inclusive and representative society, but I can’t do it alone. Your support, no matter how big or small, will help empower the next generation of changemakers.

Lets Change Politics, One Leader at a Time

Your support doesn’t just fund programmes – it builds the diverse political leadership Britain desperately needs.

At Patchwork, they're not just talking about representation; they're creating it. The alumni are winning seats, shaping policy, and proving that politics works best when it reflects all of us. But brilliant minds shouldn’t be locked out by financial barriers.

Every Pound Makes Politics Better

£1,226 – Transform a Life, Transform Politics

Fund one complete Masterclass journey for 10 months. You’re not just sponsoring training – you’re investing in Britain’s first Black, Asian, or underrepresented woman MP, councillor, or policy leader. Previous participants have gone on to win council seats, secure parliamentary selections, and lead major campaigns.

£300 – Break Down Barriers

Your donation covers our accessibility fund for one Masterclass participant. Because brilliant political minds come with all kinds of needs – childcare, travel costs, or access requirements shouldn’t determine who gets to lead.

£150 – Open Conference Doors

Fund a Get Involved participant’s trip to Party Conference. You’re giving someone their first real taste of political power – the conversations, connections, and confidence that turn passion into action.

£75 – Essential Starter Kit

Covers welcome materials, campaign guides, and networking resources for a new participant. Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference in helping someone feel they belong.

£50 – Power Up Potential

Contributes to workshops, guest speakers, or digital tools that keep our programmes cutting-edge and relevant.

£15 – Arm Them for Success

Masterclass resources including quality notebook, pen, and printed materials. Because when you’re making history, you need the right tools to take notes.

£5 – Monthly Coffee Fund

Can you buy Patchwork one coffee a month? It keeps our small but mighty team fighting for political change. Plus, some of our best ideas happen over a proper brew.

Any Amount – Every Voice Matters

Whether it’s £2 or £200, your support helps us reach brilliant people who might otherwise never consider politics. Democracy works better when everyone has a seat at the table.

Why This Matters Now

Britain’s political landscape is changing, but not fast enough. While our communities grow more diverse, our political institutions lag behind. Patchwork participants don’t just learn about politics – they transform it.

Your donation today becomes tomorrow’s political breakthrough.
