You can help spread positive food, farming, rural and YFC messages in so many ways. Be proud of your YFC activity, achievements and make sure you champion your views and news. If everyone shares their positive, well-informed messages, think how many more people will understand the benefits of YFC, their rural community and the countryside.

The UK Parliament website gives you step-by-step instructions and information to help you find and contact your MP. It is helpful to consider your aims and objectives for getting in touch and outline these to ensure an appropriate response or course of action.
This link gives a guide to all the different ways of contacting your MP and how to find out if MPs have special interests.
It also explains that if you are interested in a particular Bill that is going through Parliament, you could use the Bills before Parliament pages to look at which MPs have spoken at its Second reading debate and which have been selected to serve on its Public Bill Committee. You can also send in your views on a Bill to the committee as a whole while it is sitting.
With so much change happening, you may want to get more involved at any level of your choice. If you need further help or advice, contact your YFC AGRI representative or sarah.palmer@nfyfc.org.uk.
