The election for the next leader of the Labour Party in Wales is now upon us. The candidates will aim to become the new party leader and, subsequently, the First Minister.

The Save the Welsh Independent Living Grant (#SaveWILG) campaign intends to make sure the importance of Welsh Independent Living Grant is made crystal clear to all three candidates (Mark Drakeford, Vaughan Gething and Eluned Morgan). The policy of the Labour Party in Wales is determined at the Welsh annual conference and the decision there to back the #SaveWILG campaign is one that should be honoured by the next Leader of the Labour Party in Wales.

In order to raise our concerns, over the next two months, of the campaign, we need to raise some funds. Our target is a modest £160 to start with. We aim to raise this through donations by sympathetic political party branches and trade unions.

We are appealing to readers of this blog, who are in a position to do so, to donate £5 each. A mere thirty odd donations of a fiver would help us reach our goal and allow immediate of more campaign materials.
