Meet Your MP is an exciting new project from SCPO – building links between congregations and their 59 MPs across Scotland.
We want church communities to be at the heart of the decisions that affect their everyday lives – and what better way to get involved than for churches to get to know their representatives and decision makers in Westminster.
You could organise a public meeting, invite your MP to a project or event at your church, of you could take them on a walk of your local area to highlight issues that need addressed. The possibilities are endless but contact is crucial.
The project launched on Thursday 29 March 2018
