This toolkit was created by the National CLT Network to help groups have a big impact in their local advocacy work. It'll help you build influence, engage your council and work political moments to your advantage.

The toolkit includes:

• Example community led housing manifesto and template - to get support from your local council you need to be able to describe exactly what you do, what help you need and how your council can support you.This example manifesto lays out the benefits of a community led housing project and includes specific asks of a local council to assist.
• Template letter to a Local Authority - a simple but powerful letter to introduce your project to your local council.
