A bi-monthly networking event designed to bring clerks together.

Each 1-hour session is split in two parts:

Part One features a focused discussion on a specific topic, led by an expert or guest speaker, offering valuable insights and/ or practical knowledge.

Part Two provides a safe, supportive space to connect with fellow clerks, exchange ideas, share experiences, and raise questions. It’s also an opportunity to speak with the SALC team for general guidance on new issues or emerging areas of concern. 

In this session we are talking all things budget. 

The annual budget is essential for setting the Council’s precept and for managing spending commitments throughout the year. As Clerk, you play a central role in preparing and monitoring the budget, and ensuring it reflects the Council decisions and stays in line with financial regulations.

As always preparation is key!
