Workshops include:
• Privatisation and outsourcing
• Looking at the figures
• Volunteers
• Using social media
• Working with the media
• Mounting a legal challenge
• Constructing arguments
• Organising events
The conference will be on Saturday 22 October at the University of London Union on Malet Street, London , WC1.
