The Activism Development Team
If you're in a local group in England, then the Activism Development team is your first point of contact if you have questions or need support or advice.
If you're in a local group in Wales or Northern Ireland then your point of contact is the Network Developer for that nation.
There are two easy ways to contact the Activism Development team 5 days a week:

What the Activism Development team do
We support and develop the groups network. We work directly with groups, to help them get stronger and handle challenges and we help to set up new groups too. We also develop new ways for people to get active with us.
We put on training events and regional events and we run activities and projects that attract new people to take action or help them to be more effective campaigners, like the annual lecture, Basecamp and the Campaign Hubs.
We run an Organisers network of in-depth grassroots network organisers and develop ways to build in-depth campaigning skills for group members.
