  • regional groups
  • district groups
  • local groups
  • region/nation working groups
  • district working groups
  • local working groups only if they are demonstrably large, active and well organised - otherwise they should use a 'plus address' folder on their parent group address (see below)
  • UK level working groups

Addresses cannot be issued to:

  • individuals
  • affinity groups
  • local working groups (unless demonstrably large, active and well organised )
  • any groups lacking a corresponding record on the Communications Hub (see below)

Is your group on the 'Communications Hub'?

Addresses can only be issued to groups whose existence has been recorded on the XR UK Communications Hub since we[^1]we* use the hub to verify requests. If your group is not yet listed you should ask your 'Group Admin' or the 'Group Admin' of your parent circle* to help with this.

Are you personally on the 'Communications Hub'?

The applicant should be personally listed on the hub as holding a core role* in the group requesting an email. If you're not yet listed you should ask your 'Group Admin' or the 'Group Admin' of your parent circle* to help with this (more here).

If you're happy that you/your group meet the above criteria please make your request with a message to this chat channel (on XR's Mattermost).
