Get More Greens Elected!

Donate Now

We rely entirely on your donations to run election campaigns for the West Oxfordshire District Council and the County Council elections.

Unlike other parties we do not receive funds from large corporations, non-doms, trade unions or other major groups or organisations. Most of our donations come from individuals and small local businesses.

Your donations are our only source of income.

In the Green Party, no matter how hard we work, no matter how many times we’re proven right, the odds are stacked against us due to the UK’s first-past-the post voting system. This means Greens have to fight even harder to bring about change.

In May we will be fighting elections to Oxfordshire County Council and West Oxfordshire District Council. We are also trying to support as many members as possible who wish to stand for any of the 140 town and parish council seats around West Oxfordshire that will be decided in May. That’s much more than in any normal year. We don’t have the money or the resources of the bigger parties. In order  to campaign for members to be elected at all levels we need your support more than ever.

Since last November we have been spending up to £250 each month to print and post leaflets through thousands of doors in the wards we can win.  However, recent Government COVID-19 guidance means that we can no longer use volunteers to deliver those leaflets so we are using a local based business to deliver them to homes, adding almost £300 to the cost of each leaflet drop.  From March 2021 onward, we will be producing and circulating even more newsletters and leaflets, especially during the last 6 weeks of the campaign.

COVID restrictions also mean that we will need to do phone based rather than door to door canvassing and we are of course developing a much extended internet and social media presence.

This year, postal votes are going to be more important than ever. We must make sure that wherever we have a chance of winning, all postal voters, young voters and people new to West Oxfordshire, know about the Green Party and what we stand for.

We have been busy fundraising to support our campaigns but we really need to raise another £3,000 to make them successful and see more councillors elected turning West Oxfordshire Greener.

You can help get more Greens elected, to push the councils to take real action on the climate and ecological emergency, challenge new housing developments, secure a sustainable green recovery from COVID-19 and fight for public services that work for all of us.

Help change the balance of power in West Oxfordshire to a Greener future by donating  as little as £5 or £10 a month, or if you prefer, make a single donation.

Please Donate Generously.

We realise that in these difficult times not everyone can afford to donate funds to the Branch, but perhaps instead you can help in other ways e.g. help us run fund-raising activities or donate materials or services in kind.
