Reimagining disengagement: tools and resources for engaging the disengaged in making change

Tuesday, June 3, 2025 - 12:00 to 13:30

Political disengagement is rising in the UK, with declining turnout, eroding trust, and growing polarisation. Some groups, particularly young people and the economically disadvantaged, are especially disengaged.
