NALC provide a national voice for local (parish and town) councils across England. We campaign on their behalf, raise awareness of their work and provide them with a range of services to support their needs.

We provide a number of services:

  • Campaigning –  lobby for the issues that are important to local councils and communicate those views to government and a range of influential organisations, in the private, charity and public sector.

  • Legal, accounts and audit advice – Written, telephone and digital advice from NALC’s well-experienced solicitors.

  • Publications – A quarterly magazine, LCR, fortnightly DIS, guides on being a good councillor, employer, finance and transparency, neighbourhood planning and a range of toolkits.

  • Conferences, events and training – NALC’s national events and training sessions are opportunities to bring our diverse membership together to learn about new or topical initiatives and share ideas.

  • Publicity – Raise the profile of local councils and the sector beyond a regional level

  • Media – Guidance on how to deal with a media crises, how to deal with reporters and media outlets and writing a media policy.
