Conservative Future (CF) was the youth movement of the Conservative Party in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The organisation was made up of all members of the Conservative Party who were 30 years old or younger.[citation needed]
Conservative Future was founded in 1998. By 2006, it was the largest political organisation on British campuses[3] and the estimated membership, including members on campuses and through constituency associations may once have totalled 20,000.[4]
Conservative Future Scotland was the independent sister organisation of CF in Scotland. Internationally, Conservative Future participated in the centre-right International Young Democrat Union.[2] Within Europe, it was a founder member of the European Young Conservatives.
Conservative Future founder and former Leader of the House of Commons William Hague was announced as the Honorary President at the 2012 Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham.
It also sent delegates to the National Conservative Convention, the parliament of the party's voluntary wing (Voluntary Party). 2015 was the last year CF sent delegates to the NCC.
