Topics in this pathway
Start here
Money and public finances
Where does every £1 of tax actually go?
Health and pensions take roughly half before anything else is paid for.
How the UK is governed
How an idea becomes an actual law
Most bills die quietly. The ones that survive go through the same seven-ish stages.
The media and accountability
Why that advert followed you across three apps
Nobody listened to you. Something much less dramatic — and more useful to them — happened.
Projects
Campaign for a local change
Choose something you would change locally and build the case a councillor would have to answer.
Run a real fundraiser
Plan, cost and pitch a small fundraising event, then report the actual result.
Run a one-day tuck shop
Buy, price and sell snacks, then work out whether you made money.
Brief your councillor
Find one problem where you live and prepare the two-page brief a councillor could use.
Run a fruit shop
Set up a pretend fruit shop and work out the money.
Make a kindness plan
Plan one small thing that helps someone every day for a week.
