Charlie Willson

I am an experienced political campaigner based in Horsham, Sussex. I have contributed to a wide range of campaigns – including our Denne Ward by-election win which we narrowly won by just 40 votes. In March 2025, I took on the role of Deputy Chairman (Political and Campaigning) for one of our branch areas. I have actively contributed to election literature and other campaign material to ensure consistent and disciplined messaging.

During the 2024 Denne Ward by-election (which we won by just 40 votes) I played a key role as a member in setting up and creating an online petition around local parking charges, allowing us to show voters that we were on their side by using petitions / surveys as a form of voter communication.

In addition to this, during the 2024 general election, I was employed by CCHQ where I was responsible for Connect Calling.

I have an upper-second class honours degree in Politics with International Relations from the University of Winchester and have contributed to campaigns across Hampshire. Most recently, helping a local council candidate in the East Hampshire constituency.

Services:

· Election material advice and review (as it’s always useful to have a second pair of eyes on things)

· Single issue campaign advice (petitions, surveys, town halls etc – and how to maximise the results from these)

· Training in canvassing and ‘on the doorstep’ techniques for your volunteers – how to keep people engaged and ensure you get a VI from them.

· Campaign strategy and timetable development (what to be doing, when and why – includes GOTV and GOTPV)
