Donate to the Campaign

By-elections take time, effort and money to deliver a winning campaign and we need your support. It is a misconception that there is money available from the national party to pay for election campaigning. This is not the case. We rely entirely on financial donations from our local members and supporters.

If you would like to support our campaign please download and complete the Fighting Fund Donation Form at the bottom of this page in the 'Attachements' section, and return to the address stated.
