Our fabulous Green Fair is back this December! Everyone's favourite Winter Fair in Oxfordshire, where we meet friends, shop at festive and ethical stalls, eat delicious vegetarian and vegan food and meet local community & charity organisations. There will be interesting talks and varied music throughout the day too. Family friendly.

Volunteers & donations needed!

Food for the café: Vegetarian/vegan – home-made savoury quiches, salads or soups, or cakes/biscuits. Clearly labelled with a list of ingredients please.

Tombola prizes:  small gifts – such as: pots of jam/pickle, nick-nacks, wine or chocolate, or anything else that would be a nice little prize.

Books: your unwanted books for our ‘Magic Book Stall’

Volunteers: if you could offer us an hour or two on the day, we have all sorts of jobs to do – from washing up, making drinks, serving food to being on the Green Party stall – it’s fun! If you would like to join in, please RSVP as above, or contact Jane Roberts janexroberts@gmail.com. If you’d like to contribute food for the café, it would be really helpful to know what you will bring.

Let us know how you can best help on election day, 2 May 2019. Tasks include:

1. Reminding people to vote:
   • Knocking on the doors of people who said they will vote Green (“knocking up”).
   • Telephoning people who said they would vote green.
2. Helping in a committee room.
3. Giving lifts to voters with mobility difficulties who are otherwise unable to travel their polling station
4. Taking voter numbers at polling stations (“telling”)—many voters don’t make up their minds until they are in the polling booth. A Green rosette and a welcoming face can help persuade them. Key times include 7am-9.30am, and 5pm-8pm.
5. Tallying the votes at the count, so we know where in the county there are more Green voters.

Please tick the ways you can help below, and where you can help, as there are elections in 4 councils this year.

When you have volunteered to help the Oxfordshire Green Party, please tell us something about your skills.

For some tasks, we need specialist skills, hence this long list.

But most tasks anyone can do, given the training we provide.

Everyone who wants to  stand in a council target ward, must complete this questionnaire. If you just want to get your name on the ballot paper so that voters can vote for the Green Party in your ward (a non-target candidate) you do not need to complete this questionnaire.

There are 15 questions in all, the first of which you see below. They cover eligibility, your selection statement, how much time you can contribute and what help you need from the party.

If you have any difficulties completing the questionnaire, email the Oxfordshire Green Party Elections co-ordinator with the same information, and any questions you have.

Help us fight the climate crisis. Let's get more Greens elected

We need better MPs, ones that don't just pay lip service to the climate crisis. Right now you can help our General Election candidates reach thousands of voters before 12 December.

Oxfordshire Green Party is campaigning for a Green New Deal by getting more Green MPs. Already our elected Green councillors have got local councils to divest from fossil fuels, declare a climate emergency, improve cycling facilities and require 50% social housing in new developments.

We don't have much money, but we do have thousands of members and supporters in Oxfordshire. Will you help make a difference? Please sign up below to volunteer in any way you can. Or if you would like to speak to someone about it, please phone Kate Robinson on 07582 903996 to find how you can help, at a time that suits you.

THANK YOU!

Thank you for booking an event ticket from the Oxfordshire Green Party.

Please complete the details below and submit the form.

You will receive an e-mail receipt for your payment.

This is a call for candidates to stand for the Green Party at the 2020 elections to councils in Oxfordshire.

We need more Green councillors in Oxfordshire. Could you follow in the footsteps of our Green Party councillors in Oxford, and stand for election? You could improve the quality of our councils by representing the people and views that the governing parties ignore.

Act now

If you are at all interested in standing as a candidate, or helping organise a campaign for a candidate, please complete the form below, and the Elections Committee will get back to you with more details.

If you want any more information on what is involved in standing as candidate, please contact the Elections Co-ordinator, David Newman.

We are looking for both target candidates, who will work hard to win in May 2020, and non-target candidates who need to do as little as getting their name on the ballot paper so that people can vote everywhere for a Green Party candidate.
