I HAD the absolute pleasure of escorting our Young Greens representative Madison Baker took a trip to Southend to attend the Eastern Region Conference on Saturday 23rd May.

We were delighted to hear from guest speaker Natalie Bennett, Green Party Member of the House of Lords, who spoke passionately about her train journeys to Norway to study soil science and the importance of sustainable travel and environmental research.

Throughout the day, we attended several engaging group sessions, including a presentation and Q&A from the Eastern Region Young Greens many of whom are already elected Councillors. It was also a great opportunity to meet and connect with Young Greens Councillor Jenny Knight, Jack Blomfield, the Eastern Greens committee member, our Eastern Region Field Officer Henry Parker-Day, and Eastern Region Campaign Organiser James Vessey-Miller.

It was a fantastic day with an incredible turnout, full of inspiring conversations and shared enthusiasm for the future.

We are already looking forward to attending our National Conference later this year where we will connect with Young Greens from all over the Country.
