Our History
From the Junior Imperial and Constitutional League founded in 1906 to the Young Conservatives rebranded in 2018, youth engagement has been a part of the Conservative Party for more than 100 years. The youth wing has been through many changes over the past few years and it remains a vital part of the Conservative Party.
The Young Conservatives is organised at a local level within Associations. All Party members aged 25 and under are automatically members of the Young Conservatives and are organised into branches within their local Associations. The objective of these branches is to bring people together, organise social events and activities and campaign for Conservatives both locally and nationally.
Young Conservatives is the largest youth political organisation in the UK.
Monmouthshire Young Conservatives is all about involving young people in politics and addressing the issues that matter to them.
With over 15,000 members across the country, Young Conservatives runs a range of events and activities, from policy discussions to social gatherings. Many of these are organised by individual branches, which are based in cities, constituencies and on campuses. Members of Young Conservatives also have the opportunity to get involved in campaign activity – supporting and standing as Conservative candidates in elections at all levels, from student politics to Westminster.
