Catherine Peace, Cardiff Central Socialist Party

We have had a lot of success raising funds for the Socialist Party in the last few months. We have held three street stalls a week, using petitions to engage the public.

We have been campaigning on Gaza, student finance, and winter fuel allowance. Different parts of Cardiff Central cover different student and working-class areas.

The decision by Cardiff University to cut so many jobs and close course, such as nursing, music, languages, and many others, has resonated with local people, who are outraged and devastated.

Can you donate?

We think carefully about where to place our campaign stalls, and which signs to use to attract people, to individually ask them to sign our well-thought-out petitions, and tell them about our campaigns. Everyone who we discuss with is asked to donate to our campaigns.

We have a variety of campaign material available on the stall – leaflets, Socialist papers, details of meetings, with QR codes. We always have card readers, as well as donation tins.

We also get vital information from talking with people on stalls, which we can pass on to others through this Socialist paper, and through the next person we meet on the stall. So get on a Socialist Party stall, and help with the fightback!
