How to Lobby Guide
The Voices for Change Cymru project have created a brand new guide to lobbying the National Assembly for Wales. This free guide is designed to give voluntary sector organisations useful information about the opportunities that exist to have their voice heard and how to use their resources most effectively in their lobbying work. The guide consists of a series of information sheets ranging from how to write a consultation response to working with committees, how to influence manifestos to influencing legislation. It is the perfect resource for anyone new to campaigning and influencing work in Wales or those who want to try new ways of working or refresh their knowledge.
You can get a full copy of this free guide by emailing us at vfcc@wcva.org.uk and we will post a hard copy to you OR you can download it below either in full or selecting the sections most relevant to you. The guide is available in English and Welsh.
