Children and young people are an important audience for the Restoration and Renewal Programme - as the future voters, parliamentarians, workforce and custodians of the building, it’s imperative that they have an opportunity to participate and share their views with us.

In October 2021 we hosted family sessions and met with members of the Wigan and Leigh Youth Cabinet at the People’s History Museum Manchester as part of a Restoration and Renewal Programme ‘Take Over’ day. As the national museum of democracy, telling the story of its development in Britain: past, present, and future – the People’s History Museum was the perfect place to explore the future of the Palace of Westminster with children, young people and families.

The children's and young people’s ideas will be shared with the Restoration and Renewal programme, as part of a wider programme of public engagement initiatives.
