This Website is aimed at the small, self-financed club (associations, societies, guilds, organisations, fellowships, etc.). Here the need is the most but the expertise is rarely at hand.
One of the biggest challenges faced by the people who run and manage clubs, whether they are charities or not, is creating public awareness and support.
** All clubs need finance **
** All clubs need members **
** All clubs need public awareness and support **
Without any one of these, your club just will not survive!
Recognising the general lack of information available, especially for the small club manager, was the inspiration for the development of the success4u.co.uk website.
Throughout this website, you will have access to free information, tips and reports.
We cannot guarantee you will succeed, only provide information and offer advice. It is up to you to put it into action.
But remember - One key to your success lies in the quality of your committees or management team. To ensure success, you need an enthusiastic, motivated, positive thinking team to work with (the committee or management team).

A Corporate Identity, in its broadest sense, is the expression of an organisation or product. A Corporate Identity is communicated in a number of different ways and not only represents the visual aspects that a customer may come across (logo or imagery), but can also be reflected in the behaviour of people within that organisation, the quality of products that the organisation offers and the manner in which customers are treated. ...more
Websites can be made very pretty with flashing things, music, animation, pop-ups, and drop downs. For those that like that sort of thing, that is what they want. But for the rest of us they are no-no's. Who is your target audience? ...more
It is almost an art form in itself but if tackled properly and professionally could set you up for the year and beyond. This is where you must have your act together collectively as a society. ...more
Administration is often a thankless job and the more efficient you are as a committee member the less likely it is that ordinary members will be aware of the work you are doing on their behalf.
Being taken for granted and the rewards for being a committee member are more often than not, intrinsically linked. One thing is certain though; without your voluntary efforts, the Clubs and Societies would cease to exist. ...more
