We are raising money to run a campaign to elected Georgina Treloar as our Green MP in Folkestone and Hythe. Running an election campaign requires money. £500 is needed just for the deposit to allow a candidate to stand. In addition, there are the costs of designing, printing and delivering leaflets and posters as well as exciting activities that we would like to run including events and videos.

We’re using Crowdfunder to collect donations online: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/shepway-greens-election-fund

Unlike other parties, the Green Party does not accept funding from big business, the finance sector or trade unions. We do this so that we can stay independent and act in the best interests of the people. However, this does mean that we have far fewer resources than other parties and depend entirely on our members and supporters to fund all of the amazing work we do. That is why your support is so important!

Georgina Treloar is the type of politician we need at this critical moment in history. She is honest, hard working and compassionate. She has the sort of experience we want from an MP. She’s worked as a communications professional in the public, private and third sectors. As a district councillor for Folkestone and Hythe she has been leading on climate and
representing the interests of her community on local issues.

With your support we can ensure Folkestone and Hythe elects an MP who will stand up for what matters! People are turning to the Green Party like never before. With Georgina Treloar in Parliament, we will have a powerful voice for the people of Folkestone and Hythe, holding the Government to account, fighting for a Green New Deal and working with other Greens in the House of Commons, and Natalie Bennett and Jenny Jones in the House of Lords.

Please donate whatever you can afford and help us run an exciting and engaging campaign.
