Progressive Britain Political Weekend

We are delighted to announce the return of ‘Progressive Britain Political Weekend’. Previously, our Political Weekends were a safe space for likeminded Labour members to network and reconnect, providing a platform for discussion and debate. The weekends were tailored around delivering the training our activists needed to be effective communicators and campaigners, with many attendees going on to successfully stand for Council and Parliament.

With a Labour government, it is crucial that our membership is equipped to be carriers and advocates for Labour’s missions. We have curated a new Political Weekend to equip you with the skills needed to champion the government in your local community through bespoke training sessions delivered by experienced figures within the political sphere. Attendees will learn how to tackle the threats of tomorrow, with area specific training tailored around the party that is the biggest threat. We will hear from experts how to combat disinformation online, how to unlock a new voter base through social media and learn how to develop a personal brand. A key part of this weekend will serve as an intensive crash course into internal Labour proceedings, such as how to navigate CLPs and regional structures.

Over the course of the weekend, guests will attend panels, plenaries and workshops as well as a dinner and drinks reception. The weekend will be held at a hotel in Milton Keynes, with the venue to be announced upon registration.

We have a number of youth bursary places available and we are delighted to announce additional youth bursary places for women and BAME Labour members. For more information about bursaries please contact issy@progressivebritain.org

Testimony from previous attendees:

“I attended the Political Weekend almost a decade ago. It was a really useful – and fun – weekend. I spent it sharing best practice, CLP horror stories, gossip, and a few bottles of wine with friends and colleagues from across the country. It’s a great opportunity, and not to be missed.” – Patrick Hurley, Member of Parliament for Southport 

“These weekends are a great opportunity to get together with people committed to thinking hard about the future of the centre left. I remember coming away from weekends energised and refreshed with great ideas.” – Josh MacAlister, Member of Parliament for Whitehaven and Workington
