YouthPolitics UK is a non-profit organisation created by young-adults for young-adults and teenagers to be more engaged in modern democracy, Parliament and current political affairs in the UK.

The organisation was formed in response to the from young-adults nationwide who feel like their views are often dismissed by MPs and their voices unheard in the political landscape.

The conference is also a platform for the organisation to announce branches being opened in Edinburgh, Swansea, London, Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham and Bath.

However, anyone under the age of 25 can become a YouthPolitics Activist (YPA) and start a branch in their own city if one does not already exist.
