Stephen Balogh is active in non-profit and public policy organisations that promote the flourishing of society through the thoughtful application of socially responsible, small-c conservative politics. Following a 30-year business career, he now devotes his time to initiatives aimed at community building from local neighbourhood to international levels, whether by means of social, political or commercial exchange. Many will recognise Stephen as New Culture Forum’s National Organiser, helping to establish a network of “NCF Locals” groups around the country, and he has acted as contributing author to two NCF publications.
Having been a political wanderer for most of his life, Stephen joined the SDP in summer 2023, recognising for the first time a party whose philosophical underpinning and policy prescriptions chimed strongly with his own desire for positive political change in the UK. He stood as candidate in his home constituency of Ealing Central & Acton in the 2024 General Election.
