Young people invited to join Oldham MP's summer scheme
Debbie Abrahams MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth has opened applications for her Working for Your Community summer school. The two-week programme runs in July for 18-24 year-olds, based in Oldham with weekday attendance required. Participants will learn about community development, campaigning, and communications in week one, then work with local organisations including charities in week two. The scheme includes a visit to Parliament and features guest speakers including Andy Burnham, Kevin Sinfield, and Angela Rayner. Previous participant Tahmina described it as eye-opening, noting it involves working with local agencies beyond Parliament meetings. Applications require a letter and CV sent to [email protected].
