Young Conservatives

Who are we?

Socials. Campaigning. Networking.

Keele Young Conservatives is a nationally affiliated Young Conservative society that acts as a forum and community for like minded people at Keele - whether you see yourself as a future politician, a Margaret thatcher fan, or just support small c values, and think you might just interested in finding out more. 

We have members who have never campaigned, some who campaign regularly; and even some who have stood as candidates in local elections, 

As a society, we regularly hold events with politicians, local groups and inspiring and interesting people from across politics and related areas - giving members access to a wide range of events and experiences.

Whether it’s meeting Boris Johnson, attending Party Conferences, having a social event with high profile figures such as the former deputy chairman and schools minister, Jonathan Gullis, a lunch event with leadership candidate Robert Jenrick MP, or having members invited to GB News reception- we’re always doing something or offering our members new and exciting opportunities.

From being invited aboard the 2015 campaign bus, to overturning a labour majority and returning a Conservative MP for the first time in Newcastle-under-Lyme's history, and helping to lead Newcastle Conservatives to gain a majority in the first time in history - we’re a great society to get involved in, or at least try out. 

Not only that, but our candidates are regularly given opportunities within the Party, and frequently stand as candidates when local elections come round. 

With multiple guest speakers each year, our society president is a former parliamentary and CCHQ staff member, so if you're considering a career in politics, we can support you with that too. Our former member, Jack Brereton, went onto become one of the youngest MPs in Parliament in 2017, and others have gone on to lead council groups. 

You don't have to want a career in politics - lots of our current and past members haven't - first and foremost, we always have weekly socials, allowing for like minded members and friends to meet - where if you just want to join for the social aspect and have a drink, then we're a great society for that too.  

We look forward to meeting you!
