5. Keeping the group fresh

Keeping a group fresh can require as much effort as starting one.  In some ways it is more difficult - how do you keep the initial enthusiasm going?  How do you develop new ideas for the group?  How do you attract new members?  How do you keep refreshing what you're doing?

 These materials are split into different sections to help you look at different aspects of keeping your group running.  The materials could be used by leaders of the group or to encourage discussion within the group. 

In the boxes below you will find sheets that you can download and print off.
