Joint Membership – £10.50 per month
Joint membership is for two members living at the same address. When ALDC sends hard copy mailings they will only receive one for the two of them. They pay £2.50 pm more than an individual member, for both – so £10.50 per month for both rather than £8 each.

Cllr Mike Ross
Leader of Hull City Council
“There are numerous benefits to ALDC membership – good campaigning advice and support, excellent trainers, MyCouncillor sites and other useful tools. However large or small your council group, if you’re not a member then you’re missing out.”
Cllr Kevin Lang
The City of Edinburgh Council
“ALDC is a must have membership for all Liberal Democrat campaigners and councillors. They provide essential advice, resources and training to help you campaign, win and hold your seat. If you want to improve your chances of winning, join ALDC today!”
Cllr Tumi Hawkins
South Cambridgeshire District Council
“As a councillor, I have found ALDC support to be invaluable. I especially appreciate learning from experiences shared by other councillors across the country, and the newsletter is always so full of useful content for campaigning and engaging with constituents.”
Cllr Hannah Kitching
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council
“As a member in an area with limited local party experience and capacity, the support and training that I’ve received from ALDC has been invaluable. Now that I’ve been elected, knowing there’s experience and support available is very reassuring!”
