You can view and download the full report and summary of the work. The recommendations included running a contained pilot to understand new ways of working and providing branches with clear guidance to repurpose against the new strategic framework. Guidance for Operating a Branch Both the pilot and new guidance to branches outline a renewed purpose for local community infrastructure: The purpose of an RLSS UK Branch is: a) To raise the profile of RLSS UK by responding to locally identified needs and opportunities b) To raise the profile of clubs and members c) To provide networking opportunities for ALL members, including clubs (both face-to-face and digital) Branches are now required to plan a transition to the new purpose, making active steps to increase their capacity and capability to deliver an agreed branch plan. Guidance has been developed to support branches with this transition. This guidance should act as the operating manual for increasing branch-led activity. Download your Guidance for Operating a Branch Branch Planning and Funding Application Process The Branch Guidance supports branches to create a ‘Branch Development Plan’ that is submitted and reviewed on an annual basis.
