The Leader's Group is a donor club of the Conservative Party and is described as the 'premier supporter group'.[1] To become a member of the group an annual membership fee of £50,000 must be paid. As a member of The Leader's Group you can expect to 'join David Cameron and other senior figures from the Conservative Party at dinners, post-PMQ lunches, drinks receptions, election result events and important campaign launches'. [1]
Set up in 2003, David Cameron's Leader’s Group 'has grown to become a key part of Tory fundraising' according to the Daily Mail, which revealed in January 2014 that the elite dining group had donated more than £43.1 million to the party since 2001. Secrecy surrounding its events has raised suspicions; no list of members has ever been published nor details of the topics discussed ever revealed. The Conservatives continue to refuse to release public information about the group[2] beyond details of those who have attended the events every quarter since 2012.
The chairman of the Group is Howard Leigh.
