Championing local councils, empowering local communities

Norfolk ALC exists to support and strengthen the work of parish and town councils across Norfolk – the first tier of local government, and the one closest to the people.

We believe that local councils have a vital role to play in shaping thriving, resilient communities. We are here to provide advice, training, connections, and the advocacy that councils need to lead with confidence and clarity.

Norfolk ALC has been working alongside councils for decades, offering independent, expert support that reflects the realities of local government in Norfolk. Whether it’s helping a new clerk find their feet, advising on complex legislation, or representing the sector at a county and national level, we’re proud to be the trusted partner councils turn to.

People first

Our strength lies in our people. Our in-house team brings a wide range of experience and a deep understanding of the challenges councils face. Alongside them, we work with a trusted network of specialist associates – from HR and finance experts to planning professionals and trainers.

Membership that makes a difference

Membership of Norfolk ALC opens the door to a wide range of support, guidance, and opportunities to connect with others in the sector. Whether you’re looking for peace of mind, expert input, or simply someone who understands – we’re here for you.
