NALC and LGA launch national recruitment campaign

The campaign runs throughout 2026 with a high-profile advertising push across billboards, radio, podcasts, social media channels and popular websites, giving parish and town councils national visibility. 
To help every parish and town council capitalise on this opportunity, as part of the campaign, a comprehensive recruitment toolkit has been tailored specifically for the sector. Link to the Toolkit (opens in a new tab)
