The Wilberforce Society is the first student-run think tank to have been established in the UK, based at the University of Cambridge.

TWS is a registered charity operated by students from the University of Cambridge which promotes constructive and intelligent policy discussion and aims to establish a constructive dialogue between students and policymakers.

We produce in-depth and comprehensive policy papers on the most important issues in today’s world, from the domestic to the foreign, from the social to the economic. Our writing teams come from a wide range of backgrounds, and all share a passion for incisive analysis with real-world impact. Our work is uploaded to our website for its public educational value.

Every year, we run a conference, which involves hundreds of participants from several other universities and schools, as well as professionals. As part of our outreach efforts, we run workshops for state school students during the Conference. We also hold regular discussion panels and speaker events with leading academics and public figures.

Support for TWS primarily covers the operational costs of the Society, such as material for outreach to new members, speaker and venue expenses for our conferences and events, and the distribution of our published work.

All gifts made through the philanthropy.cam.ac.uk website are treated as being made to the University of Cambridge with an expression of wishes that the funds be allocated to the registered University club or society which you have indicated as the desired recipient of your generous gift. Whilst the University retains the discretion to allocate the funds for a broader purpose, it fully intends to apply the funds in accordance with your wishes wherever possible. An expression of wishes shall not give rise to a trust or other legally-binding obligation. The University maintains a catalogue of Registered Clubs and Societies (including Sports Clubs). The University of Cambridge is an exempt charity subject to regulation by the Office for Students (OfS) under the Charities Act 2011, and therefore does not have a Charity registration number.
