The RUS Handbook was produced by Lincolnshire County Council as a practical toolkit to running a voluntary or community group. It was written by a selection of external consultants - Ruth was the author of the Running Your Group chapter.

Copies of the RUS Handbook can be downloaded from the ASKRUS section of the Lincolnshire County Council website by clicking here. There is an option to download each chapter as a pdf file or as an ebook.

Ruth is currently helping with the amendments to the second edition of the Handbook, in particular the sections on Running Your Group. Ideas to be incorporated include those tested on the recent RUS Workshops which Ruth delivered in the Lincolnshire area to voluntary and community groups.
