Standing to be a Conservative Councillor

We're looking to recruit local champions to represent their community in the Town Hall and help tackle local issues

Delivering local newsletters on local issues

Lend a hand by delivering 100-150 of our local newsletters (3-4 times a year) in your area or elsewhere in the community

Joining the Campaign Support Team

Twice a month, we meet for an hour or so in a different part of our area for delivering leaflets or letters. Coffee on us afterwards!

Joining our survey team

We organise weekly door-to-door surveys but, with 66,000 residents, it's a big job. Can you lend a hand to help us keep in touch?

Helping from home
