G8 is a grants programme to support local parties campaign in local elections.
G8 is administered by ALDC, with kind support from the Federal, English, Scottish and Welsh Liberal Democrats. If you have local elections in 2011, then we may be able to provide financial support for your campaign in wards where you will be fighting particularly hard campaigns, either to gain the seat or where there is a tricky defence.
The 2011 round of elections is the biggest in the four-year cycle. This means a lot of demand for funding through the “G8” grants process. We want to maximise success so will be aiming to fund as many council areas and wards as possible.
We are now inviting expressions of interest for the second round. These grants will be to help your campaigning during January - March
-
grants will be in the region of £100 – £200 per target/held ward
-
council areas must make single applications, and must have a Campaign Plan (which we can help you with).
-
For a ward to be eligible for a grant in this round, the candidate(s) must be identified and appearing on literature and ALDC must be given their contact details.
If your council area has already been offered a grant in the first round you do not need to register again – we will be in touch with you soon about the second round.
To register your interest, please complete this
expression of interest by 8
th November and we will send you an application pack which should be returned by 15
th November.
