On Tuesday 20th April, Richmond Park’s Conservative parliamentary candidate, Zac Goldsmith teamed up with local residents for a Social Action day.
Following a consultation, Zac and the team met with some residents of Robinson court, in Richmond upon Thames. The residents had suggested that there were two sites in the court that could do with some gardening.

Alongside the gardening, local Conservative council candidate, Katharine Robinson had organised and advertised a “bring and …

Carl Walters is the Chairman of York St John University CF. He is raising money for Help for Heroes:
Before I came to study in York I served in the RAF Regiment, and completed a 6 month tour of duty in Afghanistan. Whilst I was there I lost many good friends, and I saw with my own eyes the effects that the injuries sustained had on people.
My colleague SAC Gill, who is currently serving in Afghanistan, and I have decided to raise some money for HELP FOR HEROES, which has changed …

It with great pride that I can announce today the efforts of CF members raised a grand total of £9470.15 for the cause.

For many CFers late October and early November means one thing in particular: The Poppy Appeal.

Last autumn was the third year that CF activists have given up their time to help out the Royal British Legion with its flagship fundraising event, not as a political activity but simply as people with the time and willingness to do good without gain.

As Conservatives, Social Action is the very lifeblood of everything we believe in and stand for.

In my previous role as National Campaigns Director, I met hundreds of Conservative Future activists who voluntarily …

Hello, my name is Jonathan Sutton and I am the recently elected Conservative Future Representative for Hathern and Dishley (which is one of the wards in the Loughborough Constituency). I personally got involved with Loughborough Conservatives about 12 months ago and have since become an integral part of Nicky Morgan’s campaign to become the next MP for Loughborough.
Nicky stood in this constituency the last time around and managed to reduced Andy Reed’s majority from 6, 378 to 1996 and with several boundary changes this majority has been reduced …

North East Conservative Future have been very busy getting into the Festive spirit by taking part in the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox appeal organised by Samaritans Purse.

This project has been running for nearly twenty years and has delivered millions of shoeboxes to under-privileged children in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The project is very simple. You take a shoebox, wrap it up in Christmas wrapping paper, decide whether it is for a boy or a girl and fill it with goodies.

London Conservative Future activists have been supporting CLWCF’s Poppy Appeal at selected stations across London. The volunteer teams have been poppy selling and helping raid funds for The Poppy Appeal, which supports The Royal British Legion.
Ed Hallam, Chairman of Cities of London & Westminster CF said, “The Poppy Appeal provides vital support for our heroes and their families and it’s vital that as many activists as possible are out and about helping the effort to raise as much money as possible.”
You can volunteer to help with fund raising by visiting …

This year’s Conference Social Action Project is working to transform the Radcliffe Girls and Boys Club.
Radcliffe Girls and Boys club started as a boys’ football club in the late 1960’s and evolved into a Girls and Boys club in the early 1970’s. The club was founded by Ronnie Morris, a former Conservative Mayor of Radcliffe, and his son, Cedric Morris is still involved with the club.
Since the 1970’s it has settled into its current role as a general activities club for young people from age 7 upwards. The older children …
