Help extend the network in your region and make it more useful for the Corps community.
The ROSE Network only works when people who have already made the journey step forward to help those coming behind them.
We are looking for volunteers across the UK who can help establish a stronger regional presence. That could mean hosting a local meet, acting as a point of contact, or simply helping the network stay active where you are.
ROSE Buds are volunteer regional leads who help bring the network to life in their area.
The Rose RV works in London because someone picks a venue, sets a date, and keeps the door open. We want that same kind of simple, useful local presence across the UK.
A ROSE Bud works alongside their ICA Regional Secretary to establish and maintain a regular local meet. No committee, no unnecessary admin, no elaborate structure. Just a reliable local lead, backed by the network, the brand, and practical support to get started.
Each ROSE Bud mirrors an existing ICA Regional Secretary area. Find your region below, then get in touch.

Find a pub, bar, or social space that works for your area. Somewhere relaxed and easy to get to. A Rose in the name is a bonus, not a requirement.
Commit to a regular evening, monthly or quarterly, whatever suits the region. Consistency matters more than frequency.
Spread the word through the local ICA network. We'll help promote it nationally. You just need to be in the room.
You bring the initiative. We bring the infrastructure.
Use of The ROSE Network name, branding, and materials for your regional meet.
Your events listed on the network website and promoted through our channels.
Direct connection to the wider ROSE Network and the Intelligence Corps community.
Guidance when you need it, autonomy when you don't. No bureaucracy.
