Campaigning in your Community by Mark Pack and Shaun Roberts,
This ALDC booklet is about how you too can join the ranks of successful campaigners. It shows you how to find the right issues to campaign on, how to run successful campaigns and how to build up the team and the track-record which then wins your election, and re-election, as a councillor. Copies are available from the ALDC shop.
Building a winning team by Austin Rathe
This booklet from the Election and Skills Department is designed to show you how to build, motivate and organise a small committed team who have a winning attitude.
As well as practical advice it includes stories from Lib Dems across the country who bear testament to what we know works, and activities which will help make the theory relevant to your campaigns. It concludes with a task list to help you to start now to build your winning team. Copies are available from the ALDC shop.
Ask Every Time by Austin Rathe
When Liberal Democrats talk about local campaigning ambitions, the discussion often seems to end up in a familiar place; not enough money not enough people. “We don’t have enough volunteers because we don’t ask enough people to help” This booklet from the Election and Skills Department is based around that simple idea that is about recruiting that team of people who will deliver leaflets and knock on doors for you. It’s not about the “core” campaign team Copies are available from the ALDC shop.
