My name is Hugo, and in December last year, I was selected - at 20 years old - to stand as a candidate for Birmingham City Council.

I've got the energy and the passion, but it turns out that fighting against long-standing Labour Party incumbents armed with a huge election warchest isn't easy. So I need your help.

If you believe in giving young people - people with the drive to make politics work for those who get up every morning asking how they can change the world - then please donate what you can.

These elections will be tough, and every penny will count - but with your support, we can win.
