Our Aims
Our aim is to ensure our party is properly representative of the BAME population in Scotland and to do that we will come together under a one umbrella approach to discuss collective interests of the BAME communities in Scotland, through providing engagement opportunities. We will create a platform to voice and contribute to key issues and help shape polices with the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party so that we become the party of choice to govern Scotland as part of the Union of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
