A bi-monthly networking event designed to bring clerks together.

Each 1-hour session is split in two parts:

Part One features a focused discussion on a specific topic, led by an expert or guest speaker, offering valuable insights and/ or practical knowledge.

Part Two provides a safe, supportive space to connect with fellow clerks, exchange ideas, share experiences, and raise questions. It’s also an opportunity to speak with the SALC team for general guidance on new issues or emerging areas of concern.

Our guest speaker will be Hannah Parkhouse, Public Sectors Relationship Manager at Unity Bank.

This session will explore how Unity Bank can help Local Councils strengthen financial management practices, improve operational efficiency, and support long-term financial sustainability. Topics will include:

• The Local Councils team

• Running your account safely

• Best practice for governance / controls

• Managing reserves and cashflow effectively

Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion.
