Terms of reference:

  • Ringing 2030 aims to recruit 10,000 additional ringers and ensure that no one meets a barrier to continued development in ringing. We therefore work towards:
    • An international recruitment network sharing techniques and materials for effective recruitment
    • Supporting continued development opportunities by inspiring excellence in leadership
    • Providing guidance to support additional regional / residential courses for ringers
    • Ensuring development materials and techniques are accessible to ringers who lead practices or are looking at their own ongoing development

Current key activities:

  • South West Residential Course
  • Ringing Recruitment Network
  • Leadership Inspiration Resources
