To "sell" that you are a part of your local community you have to do just that: be a part of it. So local good causes - not the local branch of a major charity - local good causes are a good place to start. And it's not just about dipping into your pocket, sponsoring and getting a badge on your website or shop window. Anyone can do that. People who genuinely care are those who get out and do something. Fundraising. Helping clear the local pond and so on. And the same applies to being part of the business community. Anyone can join a business networking group. It's only those who are right behind the cause of local business that will become a part of the group. Who go out of their way to get on the leadership team or on an organising committee.
