The need for powerful Green voices in parliament has never been greater in what is a now or never decade for global warming.
The Conservatives are breaking Britain – they’re destroying our public services, ruining our precious nature and wrecking the climate. And Labour have none of the ambition or commitment to make a difference. Only Greens can be trusted to fight for people and the planet.
The general election will be held on Thursday July 4th 2024. Details of our candidates are below.
We urgently need donations to pay for our deposits (£500 each), campaign materials and posters. Unlike other parties we don’t get donations from big businesses or trade unions, so please give generously. Please join us and help get more Greens elected.

General Election Candidates 2024
Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough-Cllr Christine Gilligan Kubo
I have lived in the Hillsborough area since 1993. I was elected as a councillor for the Hillsborough ward in May 2020 and re-elected in May 2024.
I was a university lecturer researching sustainability, and responsible business practice before I became a councillor and was active in several local and citywide voluntary groups, including Sheffield Renewables, an organisation aiming to provide renewable energy for community buildings. Continue reading.
Sheffield Central Cllr Angela Argenzio
I have lived in Sheffield for nearly 28 years and have raised my family here. I first worked in the city as a teacher and for the last 9 years in the voluntary sector, working with disabled people and with migrants. Currently I work for City of Sanctuary Sheffield (I was previously a trustee for 6 years).
I have been a councillor for Broomhill and Sharrow Vale ward for the past five years. As a leading member of Sheffield City Council, I chair the Adult Health and Social Care Policy Committee as well as the Health and Wellbeing Board. Continue reading.
Voters in Sheffield Hallam have a choice. To send a message to those in power that we need to change course, or just carry on the same old path. I want to see a country that invests for a more secure future, has an economy that works for everyone, and public services built on community and cooperation
I’ve been resident in Sheffield for thirty years and have been in Hallam for most of that time. Continue reading
Sheffield Heeley- Cllr Alexi Dimond
I am a Sheffield City Councillor for Gleadless Valley Ward (re-elected in May 2024) and live in the Heeley constituency. I have campaigned on numerous issues from climate action to the nature emergency, to advocacy for the rights of Palestinians, for the rights of refugees, in support of human rights, racial equality, LGBTQI+ rights, disability rights and against austerity, the Iraq War and the Conservative Government’s attacks on our democracy, environment and communities. Continue Reading
Sheffield South East – Hannah Nicklin
After being involved in student and environmental protests in my 20s and living the majoirty of my adult life under Tory rule I have been disheartened to see Keir Starmer’s Labour Party give up on building better. Both Labour and Conservatives tell us they see the problems we face, but neither are brave or honest about solutions. The Green Party is – we put people and workers at the heart. Set out to increase wages; lower bills; protect the NHS; create green jobs; connect towns and villages with public transport and infrastructure which improves our lives, our health, and our wellbeing. I’m proud to stand for the Greens in 2024. Continue Reading
Penistone and Stocksbridge-Andy Davies
I am a passionate, energetic, and hard-working person committed to helping nature and communities around my home in Oughtibridge, in the Sheffield part of the Penistone and Stocksbridge constituency.
Having voted Green in 2015, I was a Labour member during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership but returned to the Greens as the only party that truly reflects my beliefs of fairness, social equity, and environmental protection. I have been actively engaged in campaigning to elect Green councillors in the neighbouring Hillsborough ward in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Continue Reading
