Donate for 2025

Over the last six years, we have grown from 2 to 35 Green Party councillors. You can help us win again in the 2026 district council elections!

In 2019 we took South Oxfordshire away from the Conservatives. In 2021 we did the same in the county council. And in 2022 we doubled the number of Green councillors in Oxford, Cherwell and West Oxfordshire. Then in 2023 and 2024 we gained another 11 councillors. This year we have increased our County Council seats from 3 to 7.  So now we now have 35 county and district council seats plus many parish and town councillors. Our Green councillors are making a difference, making our councils not just declare a climate emergency but create practical plans to reach net zero and adapt to the climate change already happening.

But campaigning costs a lot of money!

We need to build up our capacity to run year round campaigns to win in District Council elections in 2026.  These may be the last District elections before the creation of unitary local authorities.  If we are to have a say in the shape of future local authorities we need as large a representation as possible in the County and District councils.  So the coming year is going to be crucial.

Our wins this year were built on year round campaigning. It is no longer sufficient to just print and deliver leaflets in the month before polling day. Our candidates spent 18 months getting noticed in their wards, doing surveys and delivering newsletters every other month. As we campaign in more places, we need more staff time to train and support bigger campaigns. To do that we need regular monthly income to pay for staff, software and regular ward newsletters.

How can you help?

  • £2/month pays for online document storage.
  • £6/month will pay for 30 min./month of staff time training volunteers.
  • £13/month pays for Zoom meetings or hosting a web site.
  • £25 pays for a online advertisement to reach people at home.
  • £40 will print a letter for every postal voter in a ward.
  • £100 will pay staff for a day.
  • £150 will pay for 5000 copies of a ward newsletter.
  • £500/month pays for 42 hours of staff time organising election campaigns.

Donate to our fighting fund now. We particularly need regular donations every month so that we can afford to pay for staff and all year round newsletters.

Give a little, or give a lot, whatever you can afford. Thank you.
