CWU Young Workers Conference – 5th November 2025,
Mechanics Institute, Manchester
Branches are reminded that Branch Secretaries should register delegates and observers by emailing conferences@cwu.org by no later than Monday 27th October 2025. Confirmation of requests will be sent to branches within 72 hours. Should confirmation not be received within this time branches are asked to contact Angela Niven on 020 8971 7237.
A ballot will take place at the conference to determine the two delegates to represent the Young Workers to attend General Conference 2026.
All individuals must be willing to accept nomination, and must have the nomination of their own branch and/or the Young Workers Committee, to be eligible. The exception to this are members of the National Young Workers Committee themselves who may be proposed for these positions but need to have the nomination of the National Young Workers Committee and/or any Regional Young Workers Sub Committee
The Conference Agenda and Proposition details can be found here – Young Workers Conference Agenda
And a branch conference report will be made available shortly after the close of the conference.
NATIONAL YOUNG WORKERS EDUCATION EVENT, 29th – 31st AUGUST
QUORN GRANGE HOTEL.
Any member under the age of 30, can attend this year’s National Young Workers Education Event as a delegate. It takes place over the weekend of Friday, 29th through to Sunday, 31st August in Quorn.
The venue for the event during the day will be held at GFTU Quorn Grange Hotel, Quorn. Hotel accommodation has been arranged at the same venue and in nearby hotels.
Event Format
As with the approach taken last year this event now combines our Branch Young Worker Officer Forum alongside our National Education Event into a Young Workers Education weekend. A full agenda will be issued nearer the date.
Arrival & Registration
We are asking participants to arrive in Quorn on Friday, 29th August in time for their appropriate panel, however they are welcome to attend all panels if they wish to hear what is going on in other parts of the Union. Registration for the main event will take place on Saturday morning and the event will conclude at 1.30pm on Sunday, 31st August.
The arrangements for the cost of delegates will be in line with the process that has been used for many years and is reflective of current pricing. The cost for Branches to send a delegate will be £300 and will include two nights’ accommodation and all meals.
Please note the social event on the Saturday evening includes an educational performance ‘Battle Lines’ from The Banner Theatre which has been sponsored by the CWU Regions.
For more information and to secure a place for the weekend, potential delegates need to contact the branch as soon as possible so that our Head Office can assess the numbers of those attending for meals, etc.
