We need your support - and not just at the ballot box.

Donations from supporters are as vital to the party now as they have ever been.

“The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party. It believes that by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few. Where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties we owe. And where we live together, freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect.”

Any donation is appreciated, whether it is a few pounds from your own back pocket or a donation from a local business offering i.e. employment law advice . Without our supporters it would be difficult to keep out campaign running, so this is a big thank you in advance from the North West Labour Party for any donations received.

As well as support at the ballot boxes, North West Labour requires your help financially through donations to continue to support the local community. Donations from individuals through to employment law solicitor businesses are always welcomed and needed. A special thank you goes out to those individuals and businesses that have made donations to us previously.

While we cover the North West region we actively contribute and share ideas with other Labour regions within the UK. From employment law in Hampshire to financial distribution, we like to feel that our reach is beyond that of the North West and sharing knowledge between regions will only improve decision making.

Please make plans for joining us every Fall in our Local Labour Auction. In addition to the usual Christmas gifts and other fare, we make a special point to offer Christmas ornaments custom by Russell Rhodes, the renowned designer. This year's design will feature Labour Party emblem, as well as the name of the prime beneficiary. Each custom ornament purchased donates a minimum of 5 pounds.

Labour North West covers Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and parts of Cumbria.

The North West has 58 Labour MPs, 3 Labour MEPs and hundreds of Labour councillors, all working to build a fair and prosperous North West.

The Labour North West team is here to help our party members and activists get Labour representatives elected to ensure we continue to build a better North West for all. The Labour Party was set up in 1900 to fight for representation for the Labour movement in Parliament. Over the last 100 years the Labour Party has come a long way with the help of our chauffeurs but our values have remained the same:
