An Evening with Theresa May

The Prince’s Trust Women’s Leadership Group was delighted to have the opportunity to attend a special talk from Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities, Theresa May MP on 1st February 2012.

The gathering gave over 50 members and guests the chance to hear about Theresa's extraordinary career and current role in Parliament, with the of opportunity to ask questions. There was plenty of time for guests to network beforehand, with drinks and canapés served.

Having worked in the City before becoming an MP, Theresa has experience of life outside Westminster. She has been involved in politics at all levels for many years, starting out stuffing envelopes at her local Conservative Association before going on to be a councillor in the London Borough of Merton from 1986 to 1994. Theresa was elected Member of Parliament for Maidenhead in May 1997 and has held several positions within Parliament since then. Most recently, after the general election in May 2010 she was appointed Home Secretary and Minister for Women & Equalities.

This event formed part of a series of talks for The Trust's Women's Leadership Group; a committee of leading, influential women committed to raising funds to help young people get their lives back on track.
