They are working closely with a group of corporates who are looking to support organisations in the Democracy Classroom Network in the run up to the election. They are pulling together a list of opportunities and needs, including asks for space, mentors for you or your young people, volunteers, and free expertise on legal or marketing. If your organisation has a specific ask or need, or you would like to further discuss this opportunity, please contact Hattie (harriet.andrews@thepoliticsproject.org.uk).
