VISIT: The Palace of Westminster
AN initiative has seen a group of mums and daughters travel from Lancashire to London to watch the world of politics at work.
Students at Nelson’s Marsden Heights Community College and their mothers visited the House of Commons and House of Lords as part of the Girlz into Community Leadership programme.
The programme, run by the University of Central Lancashire’s Centre for Volunteering and Community Leadership, aims to raise the educational, social and political aspirations of women and girls.
The Mums2Mums group, from the south Asian community in Pendle, met with shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry, Burnley MP Julie Cooper and Pendle MP Andrew Stevenson.
