What is Labour membership?
What you need to know about
joining the Labour Party
- As a member, you’ll join hundreds of thousands of people who are dedicated to building a fairer Britain.
- We’ll provide you with all the tools and resources to get involved in exciting events and campaign days, shape policy and meet like-minded people.
- And one day you could even stand for election as an official Labour Party candidate yourself!
“I joined the Labour Party after the BNP won council seats in the area I grew up and lived in. I found a community of members and councillors who shared my values and were fighting hard to stop the far right.
Ever since then, I've got the campaigning bug and I haven’t looked back. Being a Labour member is about being part of a team of hundreds of thousands, all working together to build a better society and country.”
Hollie Ridley, General Secretary
As a Labour member, you’ll be alongside hundreds of thousands of people across Britain, dedicated to putting the country first.
We’ll provide you with all the tools and resources to get involved in events and campaign days, to help elect Labour candidates.
And if you want to, one day, you can even stand for election as an official Labour Party candidate yourself.
If you’re 14 or over, not a member of another political party, and are a British citizen or have lived in the UK for a year or more, then absolutely; come on in. We need your passion, your experience and your voice.
As little as £12 a year. Most members pay our standard rate of £5.71 a month and many choose to pay more to support our campaigns.
If you want to support Labour further, consider joining our Rose Network, a nationwide network of like-minded Labour supporters committed to returning a Labour Government.
We’re built on the contributions of our many dedicated members. Your membership fees pay for the posters, leaflets, rallies and events that you see up and down the country. Every penny is put to good use. Without our members’ contributions, we simply wouldn’t be able to run the Labour Party.
Keep an eye out for a membership pack in the post. Your membership card is in there – along with a whole host of useful information about what you can get involved in. As soon as that arrives, you’ll be a card-carrying member of the Labour Party.
You’ll have a say in our policies and vote in internal elections. We’ll provide you with all the tools and resources to get involved in events, campaign days and rallies and introduce you to a huge movement of other like-minded members.
By joining, you’ll also become a part of your local Labour Party, who will be in touch with ways you can get involved with loads of different campaigns and events near you. You can get involved in everything from policy making to campaigning to social events right away.
