The Guide is a new, growing suite of resources designed to support promoters with tips, tricks and training on a range of topics. Each month we’ll add new resources to The Guide pages of the Live & Local Website. It might be a video where we walk promoters through Live & Local forms or processes, a sheet of 10 top tips on a single topic or a more in depth look at a single issue. Scroll down through the topics below to get started - new guides added each month!
