In 1990, whilst in in “digs” at Exeter University two students, David Burrowes and Tim Montgomerie founded the Conservative Christian Fellowship. The CCF promoted, well before it was fashionable, the “Compassionate Conservative” agenda. Over the past 30 years the CCF has evolved and now trains and supports members at all levels of government as well as serving as a relational bridge for the Conservative Party and The Church and also a membership organisation
In Parliament David was a member of key select committees - Public Administration, Public Accounts and Home Affairs.
