CND Appeal

Hundreds of people like you have already supported our campaign to challenge the government’s twisted spending priorities: more money for nuclear weapons but next to nothing extra for public services. The good news is we’re now more than halfway towards our fundraising target.

Will you join them and help us reach our goal by making a donation today?

In case you missed it, last month saw Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt announce plans for a massive increase in military spending, including even more money for Britain’s nuclear weapons.

They want to increase military spending by an extra £5 billion in the next two years alone – most of which is going on nuclear. Over the next five years there will be a total increase of £11 billion over. They also announced their ‘aspiration’ to spend 2.5% of GDP on ‘defence’ - more than any other European country.

This is a huge increase in spending on weapons and warfare. But there was next to no extra money announced for our public services – our schools, our hospitals, homes, our social care, or any commitment to real support for doctors, nurses, teachers and other public sector workers.

We cannot let the government’s plans go unchallenged. We cannot allow them to spend billions of pounds on weapons of mass destruction while essential public services are underfunded and struggling to cope with increasing demand.

Please, make a much-needed donation and help us oppose these policies.

Your donation will make a huge difference to our ability to campaign for policy change: to organise meetings, print leaflets and briefings, pay for banners, placards and staging for demonstrations, to run online adverts – for all the work needed to make the government know the scale of public opposition to their spending plans, which prioritise weapons and war, not prosperity and peace.

Hundreds have already added their voice to our campaign. Please, join them if you can and help us reach our goal by making a donation today. 

In peace,

Kate Hudson

General Secretary
