Becoming a County Supported Branch (CSB)

A CSB is a method of operating for Branches that are struggling to form a Committee. To
become a CSB, a Branch applies to County Committee (either to the County Cahir or County Secretary) via Oxfordshire.CountyChair@RBL.Community or Oxfordshire.Secretary@RBL.Community and the Committee will approve the new branch status if:

• The branch is no longer viable in its present form for a specified reason (e.g. unable to
form a committee, unable to recruit a Treasurer).
• The branch is unable to fully comply with the Royal British Legion compliance
requirements (governance and financial).
• Other than the specified reason for not being viable, the branch is active in its local
area and closing would result in a loss of RBL representation in its local area.
• There is no likelihood of potential committee members coming forward, even if the
branch were to face closure.
