Sunderland Green Party General Election Fundraiser

Aim

Get the Green Party on the ballot in the three Sunderland constituencies in 2024

The Green Party aim to stand in all 575 constituencies in England and Wales in the forthcoming election, and we don't want Sunderland to be the exception.

Each candidate has to pay a deposit of £500, so with three constituencies in our area Sunderland Greens need to raise £1500 (in the next two weeks). We do not have this money and are asking you to donate what you can to help us stand.

Standing so many candidates is important, election law specifies the amount of coverage each party gets on the BBC and S4C must be appropriate for the reach of the party and the increased coverage by standing everywhere will give the four Green Party target candidates in Bristol, Brighton, East Waveney and Herefordshire much more visibility. Donating to our candidates in Sunderland will directly help get Green MP's elected.

After the election political parties represented at Westminster but not in government receive annual funding called 'short money'. The amount paid is related to the number of seats won and the the total number of votes received. Every vote we receive in Sunderland will fund Green MP's work in parliament.

We have the candidates ready and whilst they know they are not going to win they are prepared to put their time and effort in to deliver a strong positive Green message and grow the vote in Sunderland. Your donation will help make this happen, help the Green party elect FOUR MP's and make a difference in the forthcoming parliament.

Any candidate acheiving 5% or more of the vote in a constituency has their deposit refunded. We have not acheived this yet in Sunderland, but with the hard work on the ground for the local elections and the dedication of the candidates it is a possibility this time. Those monies would be ring fenced for the local election campaign in 2026. Donating towards GE deposits now could help get a Green elected to Sunderland council.

Please donate what you can.

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 Green Party funds.
