Last chance ahead of the election

Thank you to everyone who has emailed their local candidates. Nearly 2000 local candidates have received an email about our Roadmap for the next government.
So thank you for supporting our election campaign and helping us get head start in highlighting our 10 successful steps with local candidates who could be in Parliament next month!
One of the candidates asked how much will it costs? Whilst investment is needed in many areas, many of the steps will actually help the economy such as:
- Scrapping earnings limiting on carer’s allowance (Carer Support Payment in Scotland) meaning carers can earn more.
- Unlocking child trust funds/Junior ISAs will release at least £210 million of savings.
- Utilising parent carers skills and experience would bring highly qualified people into the paid workforce.
Get involved
With just over a week until polling day on the 4th July, it’s not too late to get in touch with your local candidates.
Deadline tomorrow for proxy vote
Tomorrow, Wednesday 26 June by 5pm is the deadline for:
