Social Action and Conservative Future

18 December 2008 admin No Comment

Our social action liaison officer, Anastasia Beaumont-Bott, has written a guest post for the Blue Blog on the Party website:

Social Action is more than just words on a political election leaflet – it’s the action which happens today, the action which does not wait for the day after a general election victory to come to fruition and the action which puts communities first.

Under Labour, this country’s voluntary sector has suffered due to a lack of funding and a basic lack of support. As a result, community-based projects which focus on social responsibility have struggled. In taking part in Social Action projects we hope to restore power to people in communities by giving them the power and tools to make positive changes where they matter most, working with local voluntary groups and organisations.

Our Party stands for some amazing principles but surely one of the most fundamental is our emphasis on community – and in founding and putting together the Conservative Future Social Action Network (CFSAN), I hoped to help bring that focus to Conservative Future.
