ALDC is the party’s organisation which supports Councillors and campaigning. We know that if you follow their extensive campaigning guidelines, you are more likely to win. They run the Kickstart training weekends which are intense but give individual support to candidates and campaign teams. There is still time to register for the one in November.
Being part of ALDC gives you access to lots of fantastic resources, so I’d recommend any campaigner joins here.
