Margaret Thatcher had a passionate interest in instilling her ideas and values in the next generation of leaders. She saw her principles – freedom, democracy and the rule of law – as needing to be defended at every turn. She knew that battles needed to be fought anew by each generation, otherwise our ancient freedoms risked being lost forever.

The Margaret Thatcher Centre was thus born with a purpose: to ensure that Margaret Thatcher’s principles, vision and legacy lived on.

Since being set up as a charitable project with the active support of Margaret Thatcher, the Centre has adopted an innovative approach in order to educate the next generation. It runs a student scheme in partnership with the Citadel and Hillsdale College, events with world leaders in London and the US, and has formed an enduring partnership with the University of Buckingham, where Margaret Thatcher was Chancellor.

Looking to the future, the Margaret Thatcher Centre has great plans for expansion. This includes building on the events, student programmes and other educational activities that have proven so successful.
