With almost 50 CCF members standing in local council elections in England and a number also standing in the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly elections, we were delighted to learn than many were re-elected or elected for the first time. CCF members throughout the country provided invaluable support with campaigning activities and we wish the newly-elected members all the very best in the their new roles.
In March we were joined by more than twenty of our Under 35s network for a fantastic weekend of prayer, worship, seminars and relaxation at the beautiful Ashburnham House in East Sussex. Members came from as far away as Edinburgh to meet other young Christian Conservatives and learn more about what it means to be a Christian in politics. After a bonfire under the stars on Saturday night, the weekend concluded with a Sunday morning service and a memorable message on "calling" from CCF trustee, Cllr Robin Millar.
