Local campaigning

Local campaigning is really important as many decisions about health budgets and services are decided at a local level.

Rethink encourages people to campaign on national issues at a local level as local activism is a really effective way of creating change.

If you want to change people's attitude the local media is one of the most effective ways of doing this.
