MEET YOUR COUNCILLORS And learn how YOU CAN support them Monday 13th July 2026 7-9PM

Join us for the launch of the Tower Hamlets Green Party councillor support group 🎉

This introductory evening is a chance to meet four of our Green councillors in person, Rupert George, Jonathan Purcell, Martin Parker and Ottilie Swinyard, hear about the work they're doing on the council, and find out how you can help.

We're building a team of volunteers to support our councillors across five areas:

  • Casework 🏠: helping constituents with housing, benefits, and council services
  • Policy research 📋: background and recommendations ahead of key decisions
  • Communications 📣: social media and public messaging
  • Chaperones 🤝: accompanying councillors to surgeries and events
  • Campaign and project support ✊: hands-on work on specific campaigns

Some roles call for particular experience, others just need an interest in supporting Green representation in Tower Hamlets and a little time to give. Whatever your background, there's a way to get involved. Come along to learn more, ask questions, and sign up for whatever suits you. 🙌

This is for you if:
🌱 You're new to the party and want to get stuck in
📚 You're a student or early in your career and want real experience
⏳ You've only got a couple of hours a month to spare
🗣️ You care about your local area but have never volunteered before
💡 You've got a useful skill (writing, research, languages, social media) and aren't sure where it fits
🤝 You just want to meet people and see what's going on

You don't need to be an expert. You don't need experience. If you're curious, come along.
