The New Economics Foundaiton (NEF) designed this website to provide access to information for people concerned about their local economies. Most of the information on this website builds on the knowledge contained in our two how-to handbooks, Plugging the Leaks and The Money Trail. The website offers supplementary information – case studies, PowerPoint presentations, images, document and survey templates – to assist you in your own work to improve your local economy.

If you haven't read either of the books, you can find out how to obtain copies in The handbooks section. But you are still welcome to browse the website because you may find what you are looking for without reading the books first. You can find a brief description of each tool under the Introduction section.
