NALC renews longstanding partnership with Clear Councils to support parish and town councils
We are delighted to announce the renewal of our valued partnership with Clear Councils. This renewal marks a significant step forward in our ongoing mission to empower and represent the interests of parish and town councils.
As the only national body representing England's 10,000 parish and town councils and 100,000 councillors, we are dedicated to amplifying the voices of local communities, advocating for their needs, and celebrating their invaluable contributions. Our partnership with Clear Councils has played a crucial role in helping us realise this mission. Clear Councils' extensive understanding of the sector, close ties to county associations, and unwavering responsiveness have made them an invaluable partner.
NALC is delighted that its partnership with Clear Councils will continue for another three years. Clear Councils greatly understands the sector and its challenges and risks. Their team is extremely responsive, and their offer is under regular review to ensure it meets the needs of parish and town councils.
Jonathan Owen, NALC chief executive
The renewal extends one of our longest partnerships since it began in 2017. It reaffirms a shared commitment to strengthening local governance and providing parish and town councils with the resources and guidance they need to flourish.
Lee Cleaver, Clear Councils' client account executive, highlighted the importance of the relationship, saying, "Having worked alongside NALC first as BHIB Councils and now as Clear Councils, it's been exciting to see our relationship grow. The partnership renewal allows us to keep up the great things already in motion, like celebrating excellence at the NALC Star Council Awards. It opens more opportunities to combine our expertise."
