CL:AIRE made its Supporter Membership Scheme accessible to Local Authority (LA) personnel from 1 November 2017. There is no charge (i.e. it is free)

What will this mean?
LAs will have the same status as our current Supporter Members and have a dedicated LA landing page on the CL:AIRE website. Unlike our other membership categories, LA Supporter Membership will be managed on an individual basis (rather than by organisation).
