Reform UK Bracknell is the local Branch of Reform UK for the Bracknell parliamentary constituency.
The Branch was inaugurated at a Special General Meeting on 16 Aug 2025, and is led by five officers,
each elected for a three year term.
 

• Malcolm Tullett – Chairman

• Justin Bellhouse – Deputy Chairman

• Owen Lake – Treasurer

• John Edwards – Campaign Manager

• Karen Markham – Secretary

 
These officers are supported by dedicated teams of volunteers, including an Events Team and Ward Teams who help to organise public engagement and local campaigning. All Branch activity is carried out in accordance with the Party Constitution and official Branch Rules that apply to every local Branch.

Policies and Manifesto

We adhere to the Reform UK National Policies, while developing a local Manifesto specific to the perceived needs of Bracknell constituents.
The Manifesto pledges describe the outcomes we wish to achieve overall, although these may differ in importance and priority for particular Wards. The Reform policies help to explain why we believe current arrangements have failed and the principles we would use to achieve those outcomes.

​

Election of a candidate also strengthens local grassroots support for the Party. In the case of Reform UK, we do not have the advantage of decades of established networks, council patronage or political machinery. That can be seen as a weakness, but it is also leaves us open and unencumbered to effect genuine change, when change is needed. We are not bogged down in history.

​

We truly are building a movement from the ground up. There is no central crock of gold. The Branch is funded by donations of local people who see the dire need for a new approach to government. There are no paid workers. We are all local volunteers.

Ward Teams - The Heart of Local Engagement

​

Ward Teams are the grassroots foundation we must continue to grow as we build our presence in local government.
Each Ward Team includes:

• a team leader,

• a campaign coordinator

• prospective candidates

• volunteer workers.

​

Their work goes far beyond the essential task of leaflet delivery and door-to-door canvassing. Ward Teams are our eyes and ears in the community, helping us understand the real issues residents face and what they need from their councils. Their focus is on local needs, not preconceived ideas.

​

Volunteering - Meaningful, Enjoyable and Community‑Focused

​

​Volunteer roles are varied, engaging and rewarding. You can help in whatever way you are able to and whatever time you have available.Examples include

• address / stuff envelopes at home;

• bundle leaflets;

• admin / data help;

• social media;

• telephone work;

• taking photographs;

• deliver a few streets rather than a whole ward;

• help at meetings / events;

• canvass;

• lead or organise a ward team.

• help spread awareness of our campaign​

​

Every contribution helps strengthen our community and supports the work we do locally.

 

A Shared Purpose

​​

Our Branch is not made up of career politicians. Most of our volunteers have only recently become involved in politics. They are ordinary people who feel that something has gone wrong in the establishment and that their values, culture and way of life have been overlooked. Many believe that Reform UK is the only party prioritising the issues that matter to them.

​

We want to help deliver better government for local people — because we are local people.

 

The Challenge Ahead

 

We face a significant challenge, not from local residents, but from the wider political narrative that seeks to dismiss new voices. On the doorstep, however, we find that most voters make up their own minds and are not easily swayed by national commentary.

​

Our recent by‑election successes in Bracknell showed what can be achieved with determination and teamwork. Competing against long‑established parties with larger resources is never easy, yet our volunteers achieved remarkable results in a matter of days.

​

Looking ahead to May 2027, when every local council seat in the constituency is up for re‑election, our challenge is to build on that momentum.

​

We Need to Stay Connected

​

For the many residents who want to see Reform UK succeed locally, it is important not to remain silent. We need more prospective candidates and more active volunteers — but we also respect your privacy.

​

Our officers and volunteers will never phone or email you without your consent. Even registered Members are contacted only rarely, for essential administrative reasons.

 

This means we need you to reach out to us if you want to be involved.

​

Reform UK Members please note

​

If you really want the kind of government that only Reform UK will offer, please understand it will not happen if most of us sit back and wait to vote at the next General Election. We need you to vote in the May 2027 local government election - and before that we need you to contact your Branch or your Ward Team and volunteer to let us be in touch with you.

Your consent is needed, or the combination of electoral and privacy laws inhibits our ability to contact even our own Members by modern means of communication. Please be in contact because together we stand - but otherwise the establishment parties have that advantage.
If you find the need to isolate, you can withdraw consent at any time and it will be respected.

​

Get Involved
