Help us to stand up for women in Tunbridge Wells and make a difference to your local community.

If you’re female and a member of the Labour Party, you are a member of your local Women’s Branch. This means you can be in a great position to help develop policy and campaign to improve the lives of women locally and nationally. We want more women to get involved.

Our Women’s Officer is Jayne Sharratt. You can also join the Labour Women’s Network.
