An organisation’s website is often its first referral point so it needs to be attractive and efficient to stimulate interest.

To build and sustain a branch, members and potential members need to aware of news, events and developments within their locality: one of the main drivers for successful Conservative Future branches is communication.

As Facebook has become such a success, it is even easier for the Chairman/President to get in touch with his/her members. We recommend Facebook Pages over Facebook Groups and Profiles.

However, Facebook is not enough by itself: we need to develop an independent online presence.

The online team at Conservative Campaign Headquarters has developed a specific theme for Conservative Future branches on its new Bluetree web platform, an extremely powerful and dynamic system used by most associations, MPs and now CF branches.

Setting up a Bluetree website for your CF branch couldn't be easier - there are full details on the Activist Centre within conservatives.com

Why is a website important?

A website will help you grow your membership and increase the amount of support from those members at events. The Internet is the primary communication tool for young people in Britain, so it's important to have a presence.
