Bringing Berkshire’s Local Councils together
Welcome to the home of the Berkshire Association of Local Councils (BALC).
What we doWe are a membership body which represents, supports and advises parish and town councils across the county of Berkshire. We’re one of 38 county associations in England affiliated to the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) and we support parish and town councillors to help them serve their communities.
Training for Councillors/Clerks
From brushing up on your general skills as a councillor, to understanding the intricacies of local planning rules, we offer training.
Other Member Services
We can also help members access other support, training and advice, including on HR and finance matters.
Support at a National Level
As affiliates to the National Association (NALC), we can escalate policy issues from our members and lobby at Central Government level.
Join us
We invite every parish and town council to join us.
