This session is for managers and directors who want to strengthen their organisation’s relationship with the local authority.

Led by Monsur Khan from Clear Positive Change, the session will draw on Monsur’s extensive experience working with councils.

Monsur brings a deep understanding of how local authorities are structured, how decisions are made, and how organisations can navigate these systems effectively. Monsur now supports charities to use this insight to build constructive relationships and secure meaningful support from their local council.

The session will explore practical ways to open the door to council engagement, who to approach and when, and how to build relationships aligned to your organisation’s goals. There will also be time to ask questions and share experiences of engaging with the local authority.
