Since the charity has begun to expand, Club F.O.D has moved from a service driven structure to a locality driven structure. This ensures that branches are able to meet the needs of LGBT+ locally and only delivers services that matter to them rather than trying to deliver every service available. This also allows branches to take ownership as a local/regional level and leaving the trustees to concentrate on strategic development. Every branch is required to sign up to an agreement to ensure they: Operate under delegation from the board in line with agreed processes and within a protective framework set by the charityFundraise for and spend their own budgetsChoose which services and activities (from a centrally agreed menu of services) meet the needs of LGBT+ people locallyBuild and maintain their only volunteer resourcesWork with other local LGBT+ partners to further charitable objects
Established since 2019, our Berkshire branch has created the blue print for all of our branches
Our second branch has focused on reducing social isolation in rural Oxfordshire
Our latest branch has already brought a successful price to the South Wales Valleys!
Our Oxfordshire branch currently falls under the responsibility of our Berkshire branch. Due to the growth of services in Wales, our South Wales branch is currently registering with the charities commission as Club F.O.D Cymru and will become a sister charity to Club F.O.D.
