If you are not sure if joining the Party is right for you or as a member you would like to give something extra you can donate money to the local Association.
Donations can be made towards a certain project, an election or to be used for any purpose. Donations are covered by the Political Parties, Elections and Referendum Act 2000 (PPERA) and anyone donating to the Association must comply with the following:
- You must be on the electoral register in the UK (excluding Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) in order to make a donation of more than £500.
- If you donate more than £7,500 (in a year) then we have to report the donation to the Electoral Commission who will publish that you have donated more than £7,500.
Our funding comes from people like you
The Labour Party receives 85% of the donations from the Trade Unions, who also get an extra vote in their leadership elections. The majority of donations to the Conservative Party come from individuals like you.
Any money you give will make a real difference:
- £30 = the cost of producing 1000 leaflets
- £50 = will enable us to send out 200 personalised letters
- £75 = will allow us to send 200 welcome packs to new home owners
