Today, we came together in the spirit of unity, kindness, and community – values that Jo Cox passionately stood for. The Great Get Together lunch in Slough was a beautiful reminder that we have more in common than that which divides us.

Conversations flowed, connections were made, and hearts were full. Whether you came to share, listen, or simply be present – thank you. The Young People of Youth Parliament spoke with power and passion to build a better tomorrow.

In memory of Jo, we continue to build bridges, foster compassion, and create spaces where everyone feels seen and heard.

“We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us.” – Jo Cox

This quote perfectly captures the essence of the Great Get Together and Jo’s enduring legacy of compassion, unity, and community spirit.
