Why join AMT

Join the national organisation that helps towns like yours

The United Kingdom’s small towns are not just part of our heritage, their vitality is part of the future for the millions of people who live in and around them.

Every town faces different problems and seeks to seize different opportunities. But it can be a lonely experience trying to effect change and develop projects in a small town.

This is where Action for Market Towns comes in.

Hundreds of towns are already members, benefiting from AMT services and exchanging information and experience with other towns in this national network.
