Resources

Local Alchemy has developed a set of practical tools and approaches which support communities to identify opportunities within their local economy and quickly move to taking individual and group action.

The tools have been developed to support action under particular elements of the enterprising communities framework. We have made some of these available through this webpage. If you would like more information on the tools, please contact us.
