Seventeen of us assembled for an excellent Christmas lunch at the Angel Inn, near Ferndown.- Last year it was fog, this year it was Storm Darragh, but it takes more than a bit of weather to deter Dorset for Europe!
Sending seasons greetings to everyone- Why not make a new year's resolution to get more active with Dorset for Europe?
- Do you have an idea about what we should be doing? Please let us know.
- We are always looking for people to help with social media, writing letters to MPs and local papers or support with organising activities.
- With Trump in the White House and major trade and security discussions scheduled, could 2025 be the year that the tide turns?
Save the Date!- European Movement have called for a day of action on January 25, 2025, to promote their new campaign with the Young European Movement about Erasmus +. We will be joining in, but our plans are not yet finalised.
- Let us know if you could deliver some leaflets, or help us to access groups of young people who may be interested.

Dorset for Europe is a cross-party, grassroots campaigning group of local volunteers who strongly believe that the UK should remain as close as possible to the European Union and its values. We are affiliated to the national movements Grassroots for Europe and we are a branch of the European Movement. |
Want to be active with Dorset for Europe? Find out how to help by filling in our volunteer survey. |
As you know, campaigning is expensive and we currently operate at a small loss each month, so any contribution, however small, is greatly appreciated. |
