Election countdown:

Not long left... how can you help us?

There is still lots to do - please let us know if you're able to help, even for a couple of hours.

Phone banking:

Every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 5.30pm we meet on Zoom to arrange phone calls to our members. This is NOT cold calling - we are having conversations with our supporters about their interests, and how they can get more involved in the local campaigns. It's friendly, fun, and inspiring! There is a training at the start of each session, and support at the end. Please join the dedicated WhatsApp group for more details.

We campaign all year round! And we're always happy to have new members helping out. Even a few hours a month makes a big difference.

Not sure what you'd like to do? Try this quick quiz to find out what might suit you best. We value all your skills and abilities, and will always support our diverse communities. We can call you and discuss the different options - just send us an email to let us know how you'd like to help out, and we'll be in touch.

And we're also fundraising - with no billionaire backers the Green Party rely on members and supporters like you! Regular donations mean we can continue to ensure Green voices are heard.

Could you...

Join an Action Day?

These are fun, social events where we deliver literature and speak to our neighbours across Chichester and Arun. Please contact us to be added to the relevant WhatsApp groups. All help greatly appreciated!

Stand as a councillor?

One of the biggest impacts you can have in your local area is to be a Green councillor. You could consider parish, town, district or county level. We currently have Greens at all levels, so can provide plenty of advice and support.

Action Day FAQs

What might I be asked to do? To make sure our candidates and councillors are supporting their constituents, it's important that we keep in touch. So we might be: delivering newsletters or leaflets, conducting '60 second' surveys, or canvassing local residents.

Do I have to knock on strangers' doors? It's up to you! But we know that canvassing really works and you will be alongside another party member and/or councillor. These are usually friendly and enlightening conversations, and most people are delighted that local politicians care enough to ask their opinion.

What happens on the day? There will be a group of us who meet before and after, usually for a cup of tea and a chat. We plan our routes, do some quick training, and set off. You can be paired up with another member if you want to - new volunteers are always very welcome!

What are the benefits? It's a great way to meet fellow Greens and support the work of your local party!

Thanks for your interest and support - we look forward to seeing you soon
