Club Development
The aim of every club is to be sustainable and to offer their members the experience and environment that they want.
To do this, clubs need to be aware of their vision, aims and how they are going to achieve this. The best way to do this is to have a Development Plan - this is essentially a business plan for your club which helps you to identify the club's aims for the future and plans how you will achieve them.
Why it's important...
- A secure future
- Attract new members
- Develop volunteering
- Support club staff and volunteers
- Ensure efficient use of resources
How will it benefit my club...
- Give your club a clear and united direction
- Identify goals and focus your activity and efforts
- Attract new members
- Improved chances of securing external funding
- Keeping local, regional and national partners informed for your aims
A club development plan should be a short, working document that is clear and easy to follow – it can be viewed as a ‘to do list’ for the club which will save time and effort in the long run
