Read moreDo you have questions about becoming a legal body, or building, taking over and managing an asset? Book a 45 minute session with expert Locality advisors, to get answers to your questions now.
Oops! We could not locate your form.
Thinking about incorporating as a legal entity?
Want to know what governance and policies your organisation should have in place?
Need some advice about sustainably managing your community asset?
Wondering whether it’s worth making a new asset acquisition?
These are all challenging questions that can be made a lot less daunting after a quick chat with an expert.
That’s why we are offering Big Local partnerships a 45-minute support session with expert advisors at Locality. These sessions can be used to get instant answers to your most burning questions, chat through in more detail a challenge you’ve been facing, or discuss what the opportunities of getting longer-term bespoke support from Locality might be.
We think these speedy support sessions will be especially helpful for areas who are in the early stages of scoping a new asset or considering incorporation. But we know areas who are already managing an asset or operating a legal body could benefit too, so these sessions are open to everyone.
I’ve enjoyed working with Locality. I’ve found them supportive, I’ve found them knowledgeable. They’ve been people you can just have a chat with and I’d recommend them to other Big Local areas.

The eight sessions will take place on December 12 starting from 10am and will be available on a first come first serve basis. Multiple people from your area are welcome to attend the session.
