Laura Trott Fighting Fund

It has been the greatest honour to serve as the Member of Parliament for Sevenoaks and Swanley since 2019. And, with a General Election taking place on 4 July, I am determined to keep Sevenoaks and Swanley Conservative.

We had a fantastic launch for our campaign on Saturday 25 May and we plan to be delivering leaflets and be out on the doorstep throughout this campaign sharing our positive local story. But to do this, we need your help to fund our campaign.

Calling cards, social media advertising, letters to postal voters and leaflets are vital to help promote our vision and to win this election these activities are costly and so we need your help!

How will your money be spent?

£25 will pay for 500 letterheads

£35 pays for 500 calling cards

£50 pays for 2,000 leaflets or for one large poster for a field of garden

£100 will pay for 1000 window posters

£250 will pay for “calling cards” to leave when canvassing

£500 will pay for a leaflet for every young or first time voter

£1000 will help pay for the main election address

£2500 will enable us to write to every postal voter

The whole General Election campaign will cost in the region of £20,000

Which is why I am asking you to continue your already generous support for the Party and contribute to our local Fighting Fund.

I am so grateful to all our brilliant volunteers who have already been working hard this year, and I know will continue their superb support during this campaign. Any amount you can contribute will help deliver positive messages locally, and your support now will make the difference to our campaign for the General Election.

All donations will be spent locally and I would be so very grateful for your support – together we can do this and get a Conservative MP for Sevenoaks and Swanley back into Parliament.

If you’d like to find out more, get involved in the campaign or ask any questions, please get in touch!

To donate online to the campaign please click the link below - if you would like to donate over £200 online, please email westkentconservatives@gmail.com

Thank you once again for your contribution.

Now let’s win this election.

Tunbridge Wells Fighting Fund

This week you will select a new candidate to fight the General Election.

The timing of the Election was a surprise to us all. It made it necessary to bring forward my decision, after nearly 20 years as your MP, that it’s time to pass the baton on to someone else who can have the privilege of representing our wonderful constituency in Parliament.

I want to thank you for all of your wonderful support, encouragement, and friendship during every day of those two decades.

We have achieved by campaigning together.

I’m proud of our local achievements - like getting the A21 dualled and the Pembury Hospital built and helping thousands of individual constituents solve pressing problems.

And I’m proud of what we have done for the country - like pulling us back from the brink when Gordon Brown’s government was borrowing £1 in every £4 the Government was spending, and what we have done to get 4 million people jobs and increased the state pension by 75% including by £900 in the last year.

Now we need to make sure that Tunbridge Wells continues to be represented by a Conservative MP. Like my predecessors Sir Patrick Mayhew and Archie Norman whose effectiveness I have always tried to emulate, we need someone who has the clout to get things done nationally and locally.

You will have a choice of 3 superb, energetic and impressive candidates this week. Any one of them would do us proud and make sure Tunbridge Wells has the strongest of voices.

Whoever you choose will need your help. Our campaign is underway and I will be out shoulder-to-shoulder with our candidate. We need to produce and deliver many leaflets, letters and posters across our towns and villages over the next 5 weeks.

Your generous financial support is more important than ever.

·                     £25 will pay for 500 letterheads
·                     £50 will pay for one large poster for a field or garden
·                     £100 will pay for 1000 window posters
·                     £250 will pay for "calling cards" to leave when canvassing
·                     £500 will pay for a leaflet for every young or first time voter
·                     £1000 will pay for the main election address
·                     £2500 will enable us to write to every postal voter
·                     £5000 will cover 50% of the entire campaign costs
·                     £10,000 will pay for the entire campaign!
If you would like to pay over £200, please contact westkentconservatives@gmail.com

Whatever you can give, I will be so grateful.

I may not be the candidate this time but I will always be dedicated to our constituency and do everything I can in our campaign for our next MP.

Chatham and Aylesford Fighting Fund

On Tuesday night you will select a new candidate to fight the General Election. Let's give whoever that might be a flying start by making sure they have a healthy fighting fund!

We turned this seat Blue in 2010 thanks to the phenomenal generosity of ordinary members like yourself, and we have kept it Conservative ever since. In order to win this election - which is a straight choice between a Conservative Prime Minister who has managed our economy through challenging times or Sir Keir Starmer, and his unfunded plans.

At the General Election on Thursday 4 July 2024 we want to return a new Conservative MP to Westminster to follow in my footsteps standing up for Chatham, Aylesford, Snodland, Larkfield and the villages.

Every day until 4 July local Conservative activists, including myself, will be working to produce, deliver and post material across our communities. This will be a lot of work and I am so grateful already for the volunteers who help to keep this work going. As in previous years, your financial support will never be more important.

· £25 will pay for 500 letterheads

· £50 will pay for one large poster for a field or garden

· £100 will pay for 1000 window posters

· £250 will pay for "calling cards" to leave when canvassing

· £500 will pay for a leaflet for every young or first time voter

· £1000 will pay for the main election address

· £2500 will enable us to write to every postal voter

· £5000 will cover 50% of the entire campaign costs

· £10,000 will pay for the entire campaign!

Every penny you kindly donate will be used to support the new candidate. All our funding comes from members and friends who see the important work we do here as a team and see my work in Westminster and want it to continue.

However you choose to support, I will be very grateful. I might not be your star striker anymore, but I am still part of the team and this is too important to let this slip. We need to stand together.

Helen Grant Fighting Fund

It has been an honour to serve as the Member of Parliament for Maidstone and the Weald. With a General Election on the 4th July, I am determined to make Maidstone and Malling Conservative.

Already, teams have been out on the doorstep, speaking to voters, and delivering leaflets. There is a positive story to tell - and we have a strong vision for the future as well.

But to tell that story, and to sell that vision, we need to fund our campaign. Calling cards, social media advertising, and leaflets all cost hard-raised funds.

Which is why I am asking for you to continue your incredible generosity and support for the Party, and to contribute to our Fighting Fund.

Anything you can give will help us deliver my positive message. And your support now benefits our campaigns for the General Election.

I would be hugely grateful if you would contribute to my campaign to keep Maidstone and Malling Conservative.

You can do this by donating through the Paypal button below, or by sending a Cheque addressed to Maidstone and Malling Conservatives at:

Suite 2, Paddock Wood Business Centre,
Commercial Road, Paddock Wood, TN12 6EN.

If you would like to pay via BAC or donate more than £200 please get in touch.

Your support is much appreciated. Thank you

Tom Tugendhat Fighting Fund

The time to decide has come. This election will be a straight choice about who leads our country. There is clarity in that. Do we want Conservative principles and Labour’s indecision, waffle and u-turns for the latest fashion. We have a choice and I need your support to help me show our friends and neighbours that anything else is fiction.

At the General Election on Thursday 4 July 2024 I will be standing to serve you based on my record. Together we have delivered better health care in Edenbridge, more trains to Borough Green, flood defences to Tonbridge and kept bus routes serving Hartley and New Ash Green.

Nationally you have given me the voice I needed to protect our country with the new National Security Act and the responsibility for our national security.

I would like to serve you, and our country, again.

In Tonbridge, Edenbridge and North Downs Villages, this will be a tough election. But with your support, I know we can win.

But I need you to give me the ammunition. Every day until 4 July I will be working with volunteers to produce, deliver and post material across our community. This will be a lot of work and I am so grateful already for the volunteers who help to keep this work going. Your financial support will never be more important.

As a guide to how much money we need to raise, you might find the following figures on interest.

· £25 will pay for 500 letterheads

· £50 will pay for one large poster for a field or garden

· £100 will pay for 1000 window posters

· £250 will pay for "calling cards" to leave when canvassing

· £500 will pay for a leaflet for every young or first time voter

· £1000 will pay for the main election address for every household

· £2500 will enable us to write to every postal voter to remind them to vote

· £5000 will cover 50% of the entire campaign costs for this constituency

· £10,000 will pay for the entire campaign!

Every penny you kindly donate will be used to support my re-election campaign here in our community. All our funding comes from members and friends who see the important work we do here as a team and see my work in Westminster and want it to continue.

However you choose to support, I will be very grateful. It’s too important to let this slip. We need to stand together. I look forward to standing with you I hope you will join me.

If you would like to donate over £200, please email westkentconservatives@gmail.com

Louise Harvey-Quirke Fighting Fund Campaign

WILL YOU SUPPORT THE CANTERBURY CONSERVATIVES’ CAMPAIGN FUND?

It is my honour to write to you as your Parliamentary Candidate for Canterbury. I have been overwhelmed by the number of people who have been in contact with me to offer their support and kind words.

Throughout my life, I’ve believed that if something is worth doing, it’s worth doing properly and that is why I am committed to doing all it takes to return Canterbury to the Conservative fold.

Because I live and work in the area, not only do I hear residents’ concerns on a daily basis, but I share them. Our infrastructure is already stretched, yet we have a local Lab-Lib council trying to squeeze more housing into our most sensitive, beautiful and ecologically sensitive areas. I am not prepared to sit back and see our area, our county, and our country, slide backwards just as we are starting to fully emerge from the difficult, post-Covid period. These have been unprecedented times. Yet, I truly believe the best is yet to come - but only if we have a Government focused on real-world issues and not a Labour one attempting to interfere with every aspect of our lives.

To deliver this, I need your help. My team and I need to get our message out to as many people as
possible. We need to land our literature on doormats, knock on thousands of doors, take the fight online and let people know about the very real choice they face.

To support our General Election Campaign Fund, please donate online by using the button below.

Thank you in advance – I look forward to seeing you across the constituency throughout the upcoming months. Together, we can secure a fantastic result for Canterbury, Whitstable and the villages.
