In Worcester we have ambitious plans for the County Council Elections in May 2025 and we need your support to help make those plans a reality!
We have had a huge Green surge both locally and across the country since the General Election in July 2024 – with 4 Green MPs and louder progressive voice. In Worcester we are determined to build on this momentum. We have 12 City Councillors and won the popular vote in the May 2024 City Council elections, and we gained over 10% of the vote in the General Election, keeping our deposit for the first time. Worcestershire County Council has been in Conservative control for a long time – they currently hold 45 of the 55 seats. As Labour moves to the right and the Conservative vote implodes, there is a possibility of moving the council into no overall control. That’s exciting for us… people on the doorstep are telling us that they will be voting Green at the next opportunity.
In Worcester, we are aiming to double the number of Green County Councillors and work with the other Worcestershire green groups to remove the Conservatives from control of the council. With your support, we can do it. But we need two things, time and money.
Money:
We need another £10,000 for the campaigns to pay for election literature, materials, support staff and events. So we are asking 100 people to give £100 by joining The 100 Club. Everyone in the 100 Club will get regular campaign updates via WhatsApp and/or a supporter’s newsletter.
Would you be prepared to be one of 100 people who give £100 to double our representation at the county level?
Time:
We are looking for people to make our election machine work. There are lots of roles we need to fill from being a target candidate, a non-target candidate, a campaign manager, a leaflet designer, data entry, co-ordinating leaflet deliveries or helping us to knock on doors in our target wards to get our message across on the doorstep. Every hour matters, and we can adapt our roles to meet different abilities.
