# Developing your local group

For everything you need to know to run or start a local group, see our [Local Group Essentials Guide](https://extinctionrebellion.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/XR-Local-Group-Essentials.pdf).

To contact your regional or national co-ordinator, go to the [Organism web site](https://organism.extinctionrebellion.uk/), click on your region or nation, and click the Contact link.

Alternatively, the email addresses are on the [Contact page](https://extinctionrebellion.uk/contact/) on the main XR UK web site.

Certain groups can apply for an XR email address.  See the page [How to apply for a your-group@extinctionrebellion.uk email address](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/link/747).
