For groups officially affiliated to the Conservative Party, that aim to i) raise the profile of a given issue or ii) encourage/facilitate debate relating to such an issue iii) advise the party over its policy on a given issue. The 'Official' affiliate status of such groups is confirmed by the board of the party, and no one else. Therefore some single-issue groups would not get into this category, as they are non-official.
