Are you looking to have your voice heard and engage positively with your local politician/s? 

‍

Are you passionate about tackling the climate and nature crisis and looking for support to help you to take action?

‍

Whether it be your MP, your representative at a devolved government, regional mayor or local councillor, our tested methodology is proven to improve your engagements with politicians and triple the likelihood of having politician/s take action on your behalf. 

‍

Our training series will cover the key stages of your democratic journey, including:

• Understanding your local politicians and what actions they can take on your behalf
• Creating strong, achievable asks you can take to your politicians 
• Writing letters to your politicians that encourage action
• Having effective meetings with politicians.

‍

“Writing to your Local Politician to encourage climate and nature action” will give you the confidence and skills needed to write effective letters to your local politicians. Drawing on our ten plus years of writing to politicians, the hour-long session will cover top tips for structuring your letter, explain how to achieve a tone that will increase the likelihood of your politician responding, and introduce the importance of an elevator pitch. Whether you’ve never written to a politician before, or have buckets of experience but fancy refreshing or learning a new our approach, this session is for you.
