The annual subscription is £25 per member (many members subscribe significantly more than this and we are most grateful for this additional support. To join the Labour party it currently costs £36 and to join the Liberal Democrats it currently costs a massive £45), while for our younger supporters under the age of 22 we have a reduced rate of £5, which also includes membership to the Conservative Future.

Donate
 
The Rutland & Melton Association relies on income generated from fundraising, membership and very importantly donations from local people to help maintain its campaigning presence locally.  Only through your help and support can we elect Conservatives to local Councils to help put a stop to the wasting of your money and deliver a low Council Tax.
 
The myth that the Conservative Party is bank rolled by big business is just that a myth, without small but regular contributions from many people this website and much of the work that may have brought you to it would not exist!
 
Modern Campaigning is expensive.  Stamps, telephone calls, leaflets and maintaining this website all cost money.

Your donation can help us to keep campaigning locally.
