The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) is the only recognised national membership organisation for 10,000 community, neighbourhood, parish, and town councils in England. NALC believes these vibrant, dynamic, and effective councils are at the centre of community effort, delivering services and giving their communities a democratic voice.

There are 10,000 local councils in England that represent 35 million people with 16 million electors, raising £700 million in precept and investing over £2 billion in communities. Some of the largest councils have a precept of over £1 million a year. 100,000 councillors are spending over 14 million hours a year serving those councils to help make a change in their community. Over 300 new local councils have been created in the last decade in rural and urban areas.
