Women2Win leading the way in promoting amazing new Conservative femaleleaders

The changes brought about by Women2Win are truly breathtaking. Founded 10 years ago by Theresa May MP and lady Anne Jenkin the support, encouragement, mentoring and advice given to future female MPs, MEPs, councillors and role models has been amazing to watch.
The full background to our success at the general election is here:

Helping to change the Conservative party has been one of the best things I have done in the last parliament. I cannot do quite as much now but I am still very involved, and the 10 year anniversary is going to be in November 19. It will be quite a celebration. Over 200 women were there plus a few men. The picture was taken at the end of the event. The event in Manchester pictured below was a real celebration, with many of the amazing 2010 intake coming forward and showing it can be done - from Nicky Morgan to Amber Rudd to Penny Mordaunt, plus others like Justine Greening and our co founder Theresa May.
