Local Groups

38 Degrees Skipton ...

is an independent local group, that has come together under the banner of 38 Degrees, to create a group voice, which is issue led rather than party political. We now have a blog which is acting as a diary at... http://38degreesskipton.wordpress.com We have links with Keighley 38 Degrees and share a Facebook page 38 Degrees - Airedale where we post articles about current issues - this is open to anyone to join and is a great source of information. ------------------------------------------------------ https://www.facebook.com/groups/38degreesairedale/ No meetings planned just now. Meetings usually second Sunday in the month at Choux Choux Cafe Keighley which Judith and I attend. The Keighley group is active on the NHS front and works with and supports Leeds KONP. They are also involved in Keighley's fight against an incinerator. AVAI - Aire Valley against the incinerator. Other issues are discussed and information shared. We have supported the anti fracking protest at Preston New Road. The idea for Skipton Refugee Support Group was first aired at a small 38 Degrees meeting in Skipton. This is now a large separate group.

38 Degrees Truro And Falmouth

Our local group aims to re-boot democracy and to get involved in local and national campaigns. To do that, we may need to practice among ourselves first, by being completely open to other groups, interests and agendas that we may not at first accept as being 'our values'. For example, does it matter if someone votes Conservative so long as they really care about the community they live in? I think not. We should work with all sections of the community if we want to see a re-invigorated democracy that allows everyone to speak. Our current concerns are: the privatisation of the NHS; corporate tax evasion and Climate Change.

38 Degrees is not currently able to support the launch of new local groups. You can see if there’s a group near you on this page and contact the organiser if you’re interested in joining.
If you have an idea for a local campaign, or a local angle for an important national one, you can start a petition yourself on our Campaigns By You website.

What can a 38 Degrees local group expect from 38 Degrees?

  • The freedom to choose their own campaigns and activities, as long as the issues are in line with the 38 Degrees values of fairness, equality, freedom, human rights, community, peace, sustainability, and democracy

    • Permission to use the 38 Degrees name, logos and trademark
  • Support to run local campaigns using the CBY platform

  • A clear way to contact 38 Degrees HQ for ad hoc advice

  • Clear and timely communication from 38 Degrees HQ about plans for activity within their locality

    • What does 38 Degrees expect from a local group?

  • Local groups must be respectful and fair in actions and tone, steering clear of nasty politics, personal attacks and smears

  • Local groups must stay separate from and independent of all political parties. Members of the network can criticise or support specific policies but cannot campaign for or against any political party with their 38 Degrees hat on

  • Local groups do not have a exclusive right to 38 Degrees-branded activity within a geographical area. The 38 Degrees office team may encourage and support 38 Degrees members to meet up to take action or discuss campaigns outside of the structure of the local group. They may also support multiple 38 Degrees groups within the same locality. Everyone should endeavour to ensure good communication and a welcoming attitude where this happens

  • Local groups must not bring 38 Degrees into disrepute – if 38 Degrees HQ judges that they have done so, then permission to use the organisation’s name, logo and trademarks will be withdrawn
