The future of shooting in the UK depends on our ability to stand up, speak out, and engage directly with decision-makers. With growing political pressure and shifting public opinion, now is the time for the shooting community to be seen, heard and understood at every level of government.

That’s why BASC is offering to accompany you when you meet your local MP—whether you’ve booked a constituency surgery or arranged a private meeting. This isn’t just about showing up; it’s about making an impact, and BASC is here to help you do exactly that. Our team of experts will support you every step of the way, from preparing key talking points to attending the meeting with you. Armed with up-to-date facts, figures and real-world case studies, BASC representatives will help present the true story of shooting—its vital role in conservation, its contribution to the rural economy, and the deep social value it brings to communities across the UK.

Too often, MPs only hear one side of the debate. This initiative gives you the opportunity to change that. Whether you’re a gamekeeper, landowner, shoot organiser or simply passionate about the countryside, your voice matters—and with BASC at your side, it will carry further.

Arranging a meeting with your MP is easier than you might think, and your regional BASC office is ready to guide you through the process. Once you’ve secured a meeting, simply let us know and we’ll arrange for a representative to join you.

This is your chance to help shape the future of shooting by speaking up for what matters.

Don’t go it alone—take BASC with you.
