Aim
Can you help us get Helen Stead on the ballot paper and give people a Green Party option when they vote in July?
Can you help us give everyone the chance to vote for Helen Stead of the Green Party in July?
Over 7 million people in England and Wales were denied the chance to vote Green in the last General Elections in 2019. We cannot let that happen again.
Standing in every constituency could not be more important - please help ensure Staffordshire Moorlands Greens can once again offer the electorate the opportunity to Vote Green, by supporting Helen to be our candidate in the General Election this July. We know the 2 main parties are beset with internal fighting and people are desperate for a change - Real Hope & Real Change.
We had a very successful year in 2023, when we saw Jonathan Kempster voted in as our first Green Party District Councillor, and this year, more and more people want the chance to vote Green. Helen was re-elected as a parish councillor, and is now standing for Parliament.
Why we need your help
We are not funded by big business or corporations, so we rely on support from ordinary people across the Moorlands to help raise £500 for the deposit – anything more will go towards campaign materials and spreading our message for “Real Hope. Real Change”.
We need to raise £1000 by the end of June to pay for Helen's General Election deposit and to get a Green Party leaflet delivered to every home in the Moorlands. If 50 people chip in £20, we're already there! Can you help?
Your donation not only gets a Green candidate for Parliament able to challenge the old parties. Standing General Election candidates also helps us generate Short Money – the financial assistance every opposition party receives to help fund parliamentary business. This is worth around £1 per vote to the Green Party – no matter which constituency that vote came from. Standing a Green Party candidate doesn't just demonstrate our growing strength; it's a strategic move that could fund our mission over the entire parliamentary term.
Finally, if Helen retains her deposit, those funds come back and can be spent by the Green Party again, so we can keep building strength both locally and nationally!
Please can you help by chipping in £20, or whatever you can afford, to help get us over the line?
A huge thank you for all donations - however large or small!
P.S. Because we're a political party
We're required to run electoral register checks from people making donations above £500, and if you donate over £1,500 during a year, we are required to let the Electoral Commission know, who will make this available on their website.
All donations go to general Staffordshire Moorlands Green Party funds.
