The campaign is really under way

Earlier this week we held a team meeting in our new Dagenham campaign office. It is from here that we will run our local and general election campaign effort, nationally as well as locally. We had 15 people at the meeting, with another five giving their apologies. The meeting consisted of core staff, people hired in to work until the election on specific elements of the campaign and a team of full-time volunteers.

The campaign centre is fantastic. Virtually built from scratch, it has desk space for 15 people, a telephone canvassing suite, a print room, kitchen and even a chill out area.

After months of preparation, fundraising and building, we are now really moving. Finally, it does seem the campaign is under way.
