Get Involved

Any person living in the United Kingdom is eligible to join the Conservative Party. Applicants are not required to be registered voters or UK nationals. There is no upper or lower age limit on membership, although children under the age of 15 cannot be enrolled as full voting members.

VOLUNTEER

Every successful campaign requires a team of passionate people. That’s why we rely on people like you to lend us a pair of helping hands. The opportunities to get involved are limitless. We require help with various campaign-related jobs- leafleting, canvassing, envelope-stuffing, providing transport for elderly and the immobile on an election day. There is no age limit and you don’t have to have the experience to help us out. You also choose how much time you are willing to volunteer and what jobs you are comfortable with.  To get involved, e-mail our friendly office at office@readingwestconservatives.com or give us a ring on 0118 945 4881 if you want to find out more.

BECOME A MEMBER

Being a member is a rewarding experience that gives the opportunity to get involved directly with the democratic process. For just £25 a year (or £5 a year if you are 23 or under), you get to vote for the Party Leader and help choose our candidates for Parliamentary, local government and European elections. You’ll also be invited to attend our Party Conferences and have access to our Affinity programme. Becoming a Member is a great way to have your say and help make change happen.

Join as a Member now at conservatives.com or simply contact our office.

MAKE A DONATION

We want to end the ‘big donor culture’ in British politics, so political parties don’t depend on large donations from trade unions and businesses. And we also want to avoid having to ask taxpayers for more money to pay for politics. That means we need more financial support from people like you. However much or little you give, it will be put to good use. If you wish to make a donation, please contact us.

BECOME A COUNCILLOR

Becoming a Councillor is a truly rewarding experience. It gives you the opportunity to help your local community, gain political experience, and develop useful skills in public speaking and problem solving. New Councillors bring fresh ideas and fresh enthusiasm to local politics.
