Help support the campaign

This campaign is about giving Nationwide members a stronger voice.

If you support that goal, there are a five simple ways you can help.

1. The most important thing you can do

>> Encourage other members to vote

Turnout in Nationwide elections is typically very low (just 4% of total members) — which means every additional vote has real impact.

See the section labelled Voting Conditions on the Nationwide AGM web page.

Review the 2025 Nationwide Voting form design (including the positioning of the ‘Quick vote’) by studying last year’s ballot.

2. Share with others on email, WhatsApp etc.

If you know other Nationwide members, please consider sharing your support.

>> Simple message you can copy:

I’m planning to vote for James Sherwin-Smith - he’s standing for election to the Nationwide board to increase member representation. Worth a look if you’re with Nationwide: https://james4nationwide.co.uk

3. Post on social media

Even a short post can help reach other members.

>> Example post:

Nationwide members will soon be voting to elect directors to the board. I’m supporting James Sherwin-Smith, who is standing to increase member representation: https://james4nationwide.co.uk #James4Nationwide
