Birmingham Labour Group Council Candidate Training Sessions

Our Party and our movement must be rooted in our communities. In Birmingham, we are fighting vitally important local elections in May 2022.

We are looking for enthusiastic members and activists who will stand in those elections. Birmingham Labour Group will be there to guide you through the process if you decide to stand – and support your work as a Councillor if you get elected.

For more information about how you can serve your community and fight for a better future, visit Labour’s training hub on becoming a councillor. (Labour Login Required)

Birmingham Labour Councillors are running a series of training sessions in January and February for those who are thinking about standing as a councillor.

If you are interested in applying to join these sessions, complete the application form below by Monday January 11th and we will get in touch with you.
