Labour Party Annual Conference 23-27 Sept 2017

Sheffield Hallam Constituency Labour Party has grown significantly over the last two years to a membership of nearly 2000.
Conference is a vital part of the democratic process of our party. Delegates hear (and sometimes take part in) debates, and vote on policy-making decisions. Every Constituency also has the chance to submit a Rule Change or Contemporary Motion to Conference.
It is really important that local representation is made at this national forum, and Hallam is taking an ambitious and unprecedented step this year by increasing the number of elected delegates to four, each of whom will have voting rights.

This year the Women's Conference has a formal voice in policy-making for the first time. Three of the Hallam delegates will attend this event in addition to the main conference.

This is why we need your help. It will cost around £1800.00 to send these four delegates to Brighton for five days. After General Elections in 2015 and 2017, and the all-out local elections in 2016, our funds are considerably depleted. Constituencies do not receive any central funding for election or conference activities, so it's up to us to raise the money we need ourselves.

We're asking you - whether you are a Labour Party member or an inspired supporter - to give whatever you can to help us in this enterprise.

Should we be fortunate enough to exceed our target, any unspent funds will be carried over to start a Conference fund for 2018.
