Communicating with your Community Part One
Everything should start with a strategy – and good communication is no different. To get the most from an increasing range of communications platforms and tools, it's vital that your Council has a strategy that supports the delivery of your Council's existing aims and objectives. We walk you through best practice for creating an effective communications strategy that fits with the needs and aspirations of your Council, whilst making best use of communication opportunities available to you.

Breakthrough communications is passionate about helping and supporting organisations to communicate more effectively and compliantly. They support parish councils to communicate and engage with their communities, residents and partners. We support them with all aspects of community engagement as well as GDPR and FOI compliance.
Please note: the course is open to all county associations and will therefore have clerks and councillors not from Northamptonshire in attendance. We hope that this will allow for this course to be delivered more often and throughout the year.
