Young Carers: STAND UP! SPEAK UP!

The Palace of Westminster, also known at the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Palace is the meeting place for the two Houses of Parliament ~ the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

Looking up towards "the greatest creation of medieval timber architecture", the hammerbeam roof of the Westminter Hall, Young Carers then set-off for a tour of Westminster Palace led by Elizabeth Johnson, who expertedly provided he exploration portals for our group.

Listening attentively and asking excellent questions, the group spent ninety minutes absorbing historical facts and up to date anecdotes about PMQs, remembering not to sit down on the benches which are reserved for Members only.

Broxbourne's Young Carers now have a much better idea of how to influence MPs who make decisions about their lives thanks to Charles Walker MP who sponsored the visit.

My thanks to Charles, his staff and Young Carers.  Excellent day!
