Patchwork Foundation names Greening 'MP of the year'
Education Secretary Justine Greening has been named ‘Overall MP of the Year 2016’ by the Patchwork Foundation for her work with underrepresented, deprived and minority communities across the country.
The Patchwork Foundation works to promote and encourage the positive integration of under-represented, deprived and minority communities into British political society and is not affiliated to any political party.
On receiving the award, Greening said: “I am honoured to have won the MP of the Year Award. The Patchwork Foundation does a fantastic job of getting young people involved in our democracy and political process, with its workshops and mentoring. That’s all vital if we’re going to have a political system that works for everyone and is inclusive. Its been great to be involved as an MP and locally I do my best to work with our whole community on the issues that matter to all of us.”
Other winners at the MP of the Year Awards ceremony were Mhairi Black for Overall Newcomer MP of the Year Award 2016 and the late Jo Cox MP for Overall People’s Choice MP for Year 2016.
