Development Days
Local party teams get together with party staff and other campaigners to plan the growth and development of the Liberal Democrats in their area.
The most recent round of development days included sessions on aims, ambitions and numbers; message; building the team; and the campaign plan.
This programme was delivered in Bedfordshire in October 2021, Norwich and Cambridge in January 2022 and Chelmsford in February 2022.
Look out for future development days later this year.
