This document contains guidance, and required actions, for the Branch Chairs of Cyprus, France, Germany and Thailand prior to the transition into NDP. All Branches will transition into NDP and onto GoAssemble during the week of June 8th 2026.
Key Information
To prepare for a smooth and accurate migration process there are a few actions you will need to take during the preparation phase, these are detailed below. Throughout this preparation phase, and the migration process, you will be supported by your Regional Manager, Volunteer Development Manager and your Community Engagement Manager. The NDP Project Team are also available to support.
Preparation Actions
Volunteer Data Prep
The data for each volunteer will be migrated onto GoAssemble on migration day (June 9th). It is essential to use the most up-to-date and accurate data possible to avoid any issues setting up each volunteer’s profile.
Please work with your VDM during the preparation period before your branch migrates to review the data we currently hold. Together please confirm that the volunteers listed are active in their roles. For any that are not, we will offboard them appropriately. Additionally, we need to identify if any active volunteers are missing from our list.
We also seek to identify all Branch Honorary Life Members during this period. Moving forward we will maintain a record of BHLMs to ensure that we accurately capture and celebrate the outstanding contributions of these volunteers; the relationship with these individuals will be maintained by the branch, as it is currently.
Casework Preparation
Whilst for branches overseas the full casework process still remains with the caseworker, it is still best practice to ensure that a full review of cases and the related finance is performed.
Please share the guidance below with your Branch Secretary and Treasurer and support them with the requested actions - this will assist in strengthening the increased collaboration that will occur with the Overseas Regional Office under the NDP model.
NDP Briefings
We will hold / have held meetings and briefing sessions with your branch, and provide you with information to share with all volunteers.
