The Hawick & District Branch recently succeeded in electing Annette Smart as Councillor for Hawick and Hermitage with a large rise in the local SNP vote - higher than the national average increase!
Building on this success, we want to have a "war chest" built up in advance of the next demands on our financial resources - we hope the next vote will be for Independence on 19th October 2023, but there is always the possibility of a snap UK election (or perhaps a plebiscite UK General Election if democracy is denied for our referendum), and council by-elections can also happen unexpectedly.
We have the volunteers (although we will always welcome more!) but volunteers need campaign materials, leaflets, posters, signs ,badges, stickers and so on!
We also successfully used social media advertising in the Annette Smart campaign and would like to use it over the next few months to grow our branch profile and attract new members - again this will cost money.
We believe in independence for Scotland.
We believe a strong SNP is the very best way to achieve that - so, please help us, however you can - a share, a donation or a share AND a donation!
