INVITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE
You can also invite your Member of Parliament (MP), Assembly Member (AM), or Member of Scottish Parliament (MSP) to attend too. Telling your representative about issues that affect you can be a powerful way to make change and influence decisions about rare diseases. We have put together a letter template to help you write to your MP, AM or MSP ahead of the receptions to raise awareness about rare diseases and tell them about how they can support people with rare conditions in parliament.
