of the organisations, charities and businesses at the heart of our communities.

Context across a Sector
Each Scheme includes a range of voices from across the sector to give context
“These Schemes do something so important.

They turn curiosity into understanding, and understanding into confidence.”
About Us
MPs navigate an increasingly complex world, with limited time and under constant pressure. Over ten months, our Schemes programme blends real visits and experiences with the people and organisations working across the UK. Beyond briefings and snapshots.

PKF Schemes give MPs the time and space to engage fully. Allowing them to build their knowledge of how a whole sector fits together. Forming lasting connections with those they meet and an emotional understanding of both the challenges and opportunities.Informed debate is the beating heart of democracy, underpinned by emotionally engaged and knowledgeable people.

With more knowledge, curiosity turns into understanding. And understanding becomes confidence.

Our Foundation
Knowledge sharing beyond Westminster
The Parliamentary Knowledge Foundation was founded with two objectives: to support the professional development and knowledge base of MPs, and to strengthen democratic processes by promoting engaged, knowledgeable parliamentary debate.

We're an independent, apolitical, non-profit foundation that works with MPs from all parties.

MPs spend time together outside Westminster, which breaks down barriers and builds collective understanding that supports better scrutiny, better understanding and better representation.

Strong governance underpins everything. Our Advisory Board provides strategic direction, political guidance and sector expertise. Every scheme is overseen by an Advisory Committee of 8-10 sector experts who ensure content quality, balanced perspectives and absolute impartiality.

We create the structure and governance that makes knowledge sharing possible, connecting MPs with partners who show their expertise, excellence and challenges.
