A party election fundraiser has managed to amass a total of five pounds.
The Green Party in Oxford set up the crowdfunder for candidate Dr Dianne Regisford in a bid to get her voted in to the Holywell ward.
So far, the fundraiser is £495 off of its £500 target.

Green party leader Chris Jarvis said: "The Green Party isn't like the other parties - we're not backed by billionaires or big business.
"We're a grassroots movement and are funded through small donations from ordinary people who support our vision for a fairer country, for real action on the climate crisis and for global justice.
"Here in Oxford, we have a strong team of candidates campaigning hard to win so that we can keep holding the Labour-run city council to account.
"People are coming together to back our candidates at the ballot box and every donation will help us reach even more voters."
Mr Jarvis added the party hadn't "started promoting the crowdfunder for Dr Regisford, " hence why it "only has a fiver in it".
Crowdfunders have been launched for other candidates such as Kate Robinson in Marston and Alex Powell in St Clement's, which have received more than five pounds in donations.
Anyone feeling generous has until 8.42pm on April 21 to pitch in with donations for Dr Regisford.
