Please send details of donations your party or branch has received this quarter - deadline 15 July

All Political Parties, including the Co-operative Party, must report any donations to the Electoral Commission at the end of each quarter.  This includes grants from the Society, unless your grant has come via Head Office (for example, Co-operative Group Parties), and also donations ‘in kind’, e.g. free or cheap use of meeting rooms.

If your Party Council or Branch has received any donations over £500 during the last quarter (1 April – 30 June), please make sure that you notify Karen Wilkie by Friday 15 July.  We need to know the date the donation was received, recipient (i.e. which Party or branch), donor and amount.

See the link to further guidance from the Electoral Commission and please contact Karen if you are not sure what you need to do.

Action Points
  • Quarterly donations returns
    Send us details of grants and donations received by 15 July
  • Let us know if your Party Council Treasurer or Secretary changes
    All Party Council Treasurers and Secretaries are registered with the Electoral Commission. If these change, remember to let us know straight away so that we can notify them.
