CWO North East Update

Our North East team celebrated their renewal with a fabulous event and a Galentines theme, recognising the importance of networking and women supporting women. Their guest speaker was Katherine Fletcher, who served as the Member of Parliament for South Ribble in Lancashire, from 2019 to 2024.  

Katherine was inspiring and lots of interesting and robust conversations were had with all guests contributing. The North East team were also lucky enough to have another 3 previous MPS joining them!

It was also wonderful for the new officer team to introduce themselves. Do read on, to find out more about the new team and do get in touch with them via: northeast@conservativewomen.uk
