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's not all about Politics!"

We are usually at Table 5, so order and pay at the bar for your drinks and food (if you are eating) and then join us, on the 2nd Monday of each month from 18:30 until 21:00 at The Orchard pub in Archer's Gate, SP4 7XT when some of our councillors - not just the Lib Dems - get together with whoever turns up for informal chat.  The conversation is organic and it goes where it flows, but we're just like-minded people getting together over a drink or two.

We also have a fundraising raffle - one prize, so winner takes all!

Come and join us!
