Welcome to Getting Involved

Getting Involved launches this autumn and is an exciting new initiative focused on encouraging and enabling local St Albans district residents to participate and shape their community. Through events, workshops and training Getting Involved will encourage and enable active participation in the local community by providing information on local volunteering opportunities, guidance on how to take part and influence local decision making and raising awareness of community activities.
