About Sutton and Cheam Labour

Sutton and Cheam Labour is by far the largest political party in the constituency with around 400 members and 300 registered affiliated supporters. We are the local representatives of the national Labour Party in the UK whose website can be accessed here.

Locally we comprise:

• 3 local members branches (Sutton, Sutton Downs and Worcester Park & Stonecot)

• 7 locally affiliated trade unions (includes: Unite, Unison, GMB and CWU). Full list of eligible unions here if you want your own union to affiliate with us locally

• A Local Co-operative Party branch – a sister party to Labour with which we run shared candidates

• A Local Fabian Society Group – an affiliated socialist society and think tank that has lots of local political discussion. All the other socialist societies, covering lots of interests and which have regional groups that our individual members belong to are also here

• A General Committee, to which all members are invited, meets monthly on the third Tuesday of the month except August and December

• An Executive Committee which meets monthly except August to plan our activity

• A Fundraising Committee to build the resources for us to effectively campaign

All of this is on top of the local and national campaigns and community groups our local members are actively involved with.

Our ongoing aim is to build stronger networks in the community to campaign for social change.
