Training: How to find the people we need to win

We all need more helpers but some local parties are better at finding them than others.

In Chelmsford, every target ward has at least 50% of delivery rounds covered by a non-candidate and some wards have over 90%. Having a structured approach to this was a key factor in them going from five Councillors to 31 in 2019.

On Saturday 16th July they will explain how - with a briefing and practical training session. The session will start with an overview of broad Lib Dem campaign prospects for 2023.

You need to bring a smartphone or tablet computer with the miniVAN app installed and ideally a Connect account created, though we should be able to do that on the day if necessary.

If you are a data officer or otherwise likely to be creating Connect lists, please also bring a laptop for specific training on that.
