Local Groups Handbook

This handbook has been developed by Friends of the Earth's capacity building team in collaboration with local group members.

The Local Groups Handbook is designed to complement other resources provided by Friends of the Earth and by your wider activist community. Use the handbook to support your growth and development, and also as a practical reference. It can help:

• You function at your best as a local group.
• You take action and make a difference locally.
• Improve communication within the Friends of the Earth network.
• Expand local action beyond the local group network.

Each chapter - available below in PDF format - covers one of the key criteria for success of local groups.
