As part of our wider ‘Flourishing Rugby Communities’ strategy to help clubs ensure they are healthy both now and in the future, we have created an online self-assessment health check tool. The tool will help clubs better understand their relative strengths and development areas across two key areas: Club management and Club business operations.
Once a club has completed the tool, it will have a bespoke action plan directing them to numerous support services and resources. This could range from business planning to the use of digital marketing, how to use space to generate more income, or measures to put in place to adhere to good club governance standards. Each action plan will contain relevant links to guides and templates as well how to access support from subject matter experts.
Accessing the Health Check is easy. All voting club Chairs, Honorary Secretaries and Treasurers have already been sent a registration link to the email address on the GMS. If you have not yet set up your account and hold one of these roles, you can set a new password by navigating to https://clubhealthcheck.rfu.com and choose 'forgot password'. The Health Check will send a link to set a password. If you do not receive the email, it may be because the account was set up in a different email address. If this is the case, just email us at clubhealthcheck@rfu.com and we will create a new account for you.

Club Management Reference Guide
The RFU has developed a guide to assist clubs in identifying the legal, regulatory, tax and other statutory requirements that clubs need to be aware of to ensure good club and financial management.
The purpose of this is to act as a checklist that will point clubs in the right direction of these key issues on which they need to focus. This will enable clubs to better identify where they need to take action, and to seek further information and advice where necessary.
