ALDC Group Membership

Most Lib Dem Council Groups have a Group Membership of ALDC.

This means all Councillors within your Council Group will be automatically signed up as members of ALDC. There are a number of benefits of Group Membership to both individual members and whole council groups.

SIX key benefits of ALDC group membership are:

• Council group development days: Your local party gets a free away day or group training session on an annual basis by an ALDC staff member.

• Permanent 10% discount for group members: Permanent discount that works concurrently with other discounts

• Candidates get half price membership before polling day: 50% off membership when you join ALDC for the first time if your local party is in group membership and you are a candidate

• One free membership slot for a group researcher:  Keep your researcher or political assistant in the loop with a free slot so they can access all of ALDC’s policy services free of charge whilst in post

• Specialist Legal Advice: ALDC can access a lawyer to provide legal advice on Council issues for ALDC members in group membership, extending to detailed legal support.    

In addition to Councillors any Candidates, Agents and local party campaigners can be added to your group membership.
