Write To Them

Write to your MP

Have you ever felt you had a particular issue to raise with your local MP? Perhaps you have noticed something in your community that you feel should be addressed by them? As a constituent, you can do this!

How does it work?

• Find your MP and their contact details: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP
• You can also use your post-code via this website to find how to write to politicians at a UK, Scotland, or local authority level: https://www.writetothem.com/ 
• Send them an email outlining your issue.
• Celebrate positive responses to your email or statements from your MP – for example by publicly acknowledging them on social media.

 

Tips for a successful MP email:

• Be clear what action you want your MP to take. For instance, do you want them to raise concerns with the Government? Speak out in favour of the ECHR? To meet with you to discuss further? Whatever your ask is, make sure it is clear.
• Personalise as much as possible – make it clear why this issue matters to you and why you want your MP to act.
• Follow up! For example, if you don’t hear back from your MP, you can send a polite nudge to remind them that this issue is important to you, or if your MP takes action, you can email them again to thank them for the support.
