How to Help in Witney
I've been volunteering on the campaign and things are going really well. There's a real buzz here - people are really friendly on the doorstep and are listening to what we have to say. The team tell me they now need more volunteers to make calls from home. If you've never made calls to voters before, we've made a quick video showing you how to do it. Watch the video now and see just how easy it is to make calls from the comfort of your own home.

It's not only that there are, literally, hundreds of channels around the country run by volunteers for each official channel from federal party HQ in London. It's also that the audiences for all those other channels rapidly add up to being a significant player in total compared to the national channels.
