Downham Market & District

Group leader

Thanks to all of you for volunteering to run groups! We couldn't run our U3A without you.

The Handbook for Group Leaders will answer many of the questions you have. If you need more help, don't hesitate to contact the Groups Co-ordinator, or, indeed, any member of the committee.

The Group Leaders Agreement requires you to familiarise yourselves with U3A policies. These policies can be found on the Documents page of the website.

The following documents should be read by everyone:

Travel Policy 2024
Code of Conduct 2024
Safeguarding Policy 2024
Safeguarding Report 2024
Data Protection incl Beacon 2024
Imagery Policy 2024

Important forms

Report Incident Form

These documents should be read if appropriate to your group:

Procedure for Organising Trips
Supporting Members with Vision Loss
Supporting Members with Hearing Loss
Accessibility for Disabled Members
Workshop Activities - Risk Assessment
Walk Leader - Risk Assessment
Venue Checklist - Day of Use

Portable Appliances Register

Those of you who run a group with income and expenditure will need to fill in a Group Leader Return at the end of April, July, October and January, or, if you prefer, at the end of each month. Completed forms need to be passed to the treasurer.
