| To start your group simply do the main steps listed below, we can also provide you with other practical hints and tips to help your group run well and smoothly. |
|
|
The process is simple. Let the original group know you'd like to start a group. They will provide help if you need it - just ask. They will give you a list of all the get-togethers they have had and make sure you're kept in touch with what they are doing in the future. They will let others know of your group.

| From our experience it has become clear that a number of practicalities are necessary to run a Buttercup Connection Group:
Each group needs a local initiator - someone who takes responsibility for starting it up. As the group develops it is useful to ask for volunteers who take responsibility to:
|
|
- Arrange a place to meet, open up prior to starting, ensure the heat is on, and close up when the group is finished,
- Organise drinks and/or food when necessary
- Let everybody know the time, place and subject matter of each get-together.
- Ask for voluntary contributions at each meeting to meet the costs and expenses that will inevitably arise
- Look after the groups money and pay expenses.
- Produce a newsletter if the group would like one
- Organise a web site if the group would like one
- Organise workshops if required by the group
- If you end up drawing information or resources from other groups or individuals, remember to recognise and reimburse any costs they incur. If you provide to others ask for a voluntary contribution.
