The Referendum Pledge Challenge: Week 2 winners

By Iain Gill | Wed 22nd June 2016 - 6:30 pm

The Referendum Pledge Challenge has been in full swing for a couple of weeks now and parties across the UK have been embracing it and earning themselves some serious cash.

As you will have heard we challenged every local party to use their pledge cards, make calls and knock on doors all with the express aim of entering data into Connect so we can contact voters on polling day and, ultimately, increase turnout.

Some of last week’s winners have continued to press on and have once again found themselves on the leader board.

This week’s worthy prize winners are:

Edinburgh West who will win £1,000 for a tremendous effort and marching ahead in the race to enter contacts.

Referendum Pledge Challenge – the week 1 winners

By Iain Gill | Thu 16th June 2016 - 11:15 am

Last week the referendum pledge challenge was launched. We threw down the gauntlet to local parties, setting them the challenge to get voters in their area to pledge to vote REMAIN.

In return, local parties could earn themselves up to £3,000 during the last three weeks of the campaign!

Take up of the challenge has been fantastic – local parties up and down the country have thrown themselves into it and have got behind the scheme.

This was a chance for us as a party to try a new way of campaigning and to really influence the outcome of this referendum. As we know, this referendum is now scarily close – a high turnout is vital to ensure REMAIN wins the day.

No doubt many of you have already begun focusing on this week’s challenge but here’s who’s triumphed in the first week:

£1000 Cardiff – for embracing the challenge and coming top in the UK!

£750 to Hull, Wiltshire & Hazel Grove – for taking up the challenge and securing a significant number of pledges and emails.

£500 each to Tower Hamlets, Wimbledon, Bedford, Berwick, Cambridge, Sheffield & Southwark – to reward their significant level of activity asking the Referendum question in this short period.

How the Referendum Pledge Challenge might help win it for Remain

By Neil Fawcett | Sat 11th June 2016 - 9:27 am

You may have seen an email this week about our new Referendum Pledge Challenge, where you can help win the referendum and earn up to £3,000 for your local party.

A generous donor has provided us with £30,000 in cash rewards if you are able to get people to pledge to vote Remain and provide us with an email address.

This is a fantastic way to help turn out Remain voters in the referendum, AND to build your own capacity to campaign locally in the future.

Every extra email address you collect in the next two weeks will increase your ability to communicate quickly and cheaply with your local residents in the future.

This is how it works…
