Wyre Forest Conservative Association is a voluntary organisation run entirely by local people. Our principle objective is to promote the Conservative cause and to work for the election of Conservative Party candidates at local, national and European levels. Members’ subscriptions and money raised from fundraising are used entirely to this end.
As a member, you can get involved as much or as little as you like. If you wish your membership subscription to be your only contribution that’s fine. Click here to see the ways in which you can get involved.
Branch Structure
Your local Conservative branch operates for your ward and is one of several working as a group within the Wyre Forest Association. Each Branch can only be strong and effective if it has a group of active members. You can become involved with your local branch on a number of levels depending upon the amount of time you can spare. You may consider becoming a branch committee member, working with the other committee members to build up membership, raise funds, communicate with the electorate and help with campaigning.
