Our members are the lifeblood of Reform UK Friends of the Ocean. Becoming a member is the best way to stay connected with our work, receive updates throughout the year, and be the first to hear about upcoming events and campaigns — so come make waves with us.

Each year, we host The Big Blue Reception at Reform UK's annual conference, bringing together councillors and members from across the country to discuss the future of Britain's waters and coastal communities. Members receive advance notice and invitations to attend, alongside Friends of the Ocean Annual World Oceans Reception in June and Year-End Reception in December — both held in Parliament.

Throughout the year, we also host a range of Reform UK events, from engaging drinks receptions and panel discussions featuring well-known guest speakers, to more relaxed social gatherings where members can get to know one another and build lasting connections within our growing community.

Membership is completely free. If you'd like to be part of a growing movement putting British waters and coastal communities at the heart of political life, take a look at the benefits of membership below, and complete the form to join us.

Guests at the Friends of the Ocean "Big Blue Reception" at Reform UK Conference 2026

Membership Benefits

  • A large group of people at a formal event or conference in a decorated banquet hall with wood paneling, gold accents, and chandeliers, some holding drinks and engaging in conversation.

    Party Conference Events

    Members are invited to our flagship event at Reform UK's conference — The Big Blue Reception — bringing together Members of Parliament, councillors, members, and senior party figures to discuss the future of Britain's waters and coastal communities.

    This growing tradition gives members a chance to hear from leading voices within Reform UK, put questions to speakers directly, and connect with others who share a passion for our oceans and coastal communities.

  • View of Big Ben clock tower and Palace of Westminster in London, with Westminster Bridge in the foreground and cloudy sky above.

    Parliamentary Events

    Members are invited to our parliamentary events, giving them a direct line into the conversations shaping ocean and coastal policy in Westminster. This includes access to Friends of the Ocean's two flagship parliamentary events — the Annual World Oceans Reception in June and Year-End Reception in December.

    These events place ocean and coastal issues at the heart of Westminster, giving members the chance to be part of conversations shaping the future of our waters and coastal communities.

  • Three business professionals sit around a table in a meeting room, engaged in a discussion. The man on the right, dressed in a suit, is showing and explaining something in his hand. The woman in the middle, wearing glasses and a white blouse, appears to be listening thoughtfully. The man on the left, in a dark suit, is leaning forward, focusing on the conversation. The table has documents, charts, notebooks, and cups of coffee.

    REGULAR MEMBER UPDATES

    Members receive regular updates from Reform UK Friends of the Ocean on the latest developments in ocean and coastal policy, keeping you informed and ahead of the conversation as our campaigns continue to grow.

    This includes early access to campaign announcements, policy positions, and behind-the-scenes insight from our work in Westminster and beyond — so members are always among the first to know what's happening, how campaigns are progressing, and how they can get involved.

  • Two individuals shaking hands over a desk with legal documents, pens, and paperwork, with a blurred plant in the foreground.

    Community & Social Events

    Beyond our formal events, members are invited to more relaxed social gatherings throughout the year, offering a chance to get to know fellow members in a welcoming, informal setting away from the world of politics.

    This includes pub meet-ups and social drinks across the country, giving members the chance to build lasting connections with others who share a genuine passion for Britain's waters and coastal communities — because this movement is as much about people as it is about policy.
