We hope you had a relaxing Christmas and New Year and are feeling refreshed as we move into 2026.
As the new year gets underway, how are your plans for 2026 shaping up? At SALC, we’re always keen to understand how we can best support our clerks and councils in the year ahead, so please do let us know if there is anything you need.
To help kick off the year, we’re pleased to share a useful opportunity from our communications and information compliance partners, Breakthrough Communications.
New Year Council Communications and Compliance Gift Pack
As in previous years, Breakthrough Communications are offering parish and town councils a New Year Council Communications and Compliance gift pack.
This is a series of free, practical and genuinely useful resources, including communications guidance, information compliance information, and ready-to-use templates. The resources are designed specifically for parish and town councils and aim to help councils engage more effectively, confidently and compliantly with their communities from January onwards.
These resources may support clerks by helping to:
- Improve council communications with residents
- Increase confidence around information compliance
- Save time through practical guidance and templates
Sign Up to Receive the Free Gifts
Councils can sign up now to unwrap their New Year Council Communication and Compliance gifts and set their 2026 resolutions up for success.
We hope you find these resources helpful as you begin the year and wish all clerks and councils a successful and productive 2026.
