Templates and Policies for Friends Groups

As your group grows, having clear policies and documents in place helps keep everyone safe, organised, and on the same page. Below you’ll find a range of templates that you can download and adapt to suit your group’s needs – from policy templates such as Health & Safety, Safeguarding, and Equality & Diversity, to practical documents like membership forms and risk assessments. Once you’ve adapted them for your group, there’s no need for BOSF to approve them.
