Come and join us for our annual Summer BBQ to celebrate the hard work of our campaigners and candidates from the last local election
Now that flowers are blooming and the weather is warming up, it is time for our Super Spring Raffle!
We have a bumper basket full of gorgeous gifts for the lucky winner of our raffle.
Some of the lovely gifts in our basket include champagne, a magnum of white wine and delicious chocolates. Not to mention the set of super-fashionable chocolate Labubu cake toppers!
Tickets are only £10 - buying a ticket gives you a great chance of winning our fantastic basket of goodies worth well over £100!
We are now fundraising ready to defend this constituency at the next General Election.
We know that the Conservatives are desperate to win Chesham & Amersham back. And Reform are gearing up to challenge us too. So we need to get campaigning right now to support our brilliant, hardworking MP Sarah Green. We also need to support our wonderful team of councillors and activists, and campaign across the seat.
Together we are gearing up for activity in towns and villages right across the seat - just in case there is yet another snap General Election.
Thanks to our fantastic team of volunteers, and our new staff member Lizzie, our Chesham Office is now open six mornings a week. Having the office has really put us on the map.
All this activity, the office and a paid staff member costs money. So we would love you to support our campaign to win Chesham & Amersham again by buying a raffle ticket or two.
You might just be the lucky winner of the fabulous basket of gifts worth over £100, when the raffle closes on May 22nd 2026!
It is that time of the month again - our regular round of political chat and beverages at the Jack Horner - and this time... the election is over!
Please note this is a week later than usual because I was fairly sure most people would be busy on May 7th ;)
Buy a round for London
As always, whether you can make it or not - you can donate the cost of a pint to the London party using the second ticket option below.
Join us for an engaging and enjoyable evening at the Rochdale Masonic Hall for a special Liberal Democrat Dinner, featuring guest speaker Tim Farron MP.
Tim Farron was first elected as the Liberal Democrat MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale in 2005, ending 95 years of Conservative representation and establishing it as the party’s longest continuously held seat in England. Since then, he has built a reputation as a dedicated and hard-working constituency MP—securing chemotherapy services for Westmorland General Hospital, helping protect rural GP surgeries, and even organising a free heritage train service on the Lakes Line. He currently speaks for the Liberal Democrats on Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in the House of Commons, and recently did an excellent job explaining the Sewage Crisis: See Tim's explanation here!
Enjoy a warm welcome, great company, and an inspiring talk, alongside a delicious three-course meal.
