If you are a woman thinking about your next steps in politics, get in touch with us and we will talk you through the processes, giving advice, training and practical help. The Campaign's work focuses on the following areas:

Training

- Regional 'Inspiration Days'

CGB Inspiration & Training Days are friendly and informal events, designed to give female members the opportunity to learn more about becoming active in the party. The day includes training on key skills, information and advice on becoming a candidate - if you have ever been interested in standing as a candidate or would like to build on your existing skills, look out for an event in your area!

- Training sessions at Federal Conferences.

The Campaign runs a full programme of training at federal conferences, focusing on specific areas and skills to help attendees become effective and successful Parliamentary Candidates.

- Annual 'Future Women MPs' weekend.

An intensive residential weekend of training specifically aimed at women who are serious about becoming MPs. The weekend has limited places, so if you are interested in attending the next event please contact the Campaign Organiser.

Mentoring

Our network of volunteer mentors help and support women through all stages of the approval and selection processes. including practical help with leaflet design and speech-writing.

We have different types of mentor / helper that we match with women - some to help with becoming an approved candidate, some to help fighting the selection campaign and others who provide practical help in hustings, speech-making, creating websites and designing manifestos.

Support

The Campaign provides a network of support for potential female candidates, including a monthly newsletter with information about CGB training and events, and an online 'Resource Centre' containing useful tips and sample documents.
