Our Leaders
Our leaders are only appointed after undertaking a safe recruitment process which includes vetting & barring checks and training, which enables us to provide a safe and caring environment for all children & young people.

How do I find my local group?
The best way to get involved is to find your local group (also known as a ‘Company’) by using our ‘Find a Group’ tool, all you need is your postcode and you’ll be given a list of your nearest groups. Get in touch by completing the online contact form or just pop along on the day and time the group meets.
Should you have any questions you should first speak to your local leaders, but if you feel you would like to speak to someone else you are welcome to contact us on 0300 303 4454 or support@boys-brigade.org.uk.
