How to campaign
Campaigning is all about taking action to bring about positive change.

If you want to campaign, first you have to believe that your actions can make a difference. They truly can.
"When I started campaigning for a pedestrian crossing on the road near my local shops I didn’t honestly think I’d got a chance. But support for the campaign just grew and grew and now, after almost two years, we have won!
"We have a pedestrian crossing, complete with tactile paving, beeper and rotating knob! I’m so happy and excited that I can now go out more safely!"
