RL-UK is an international, 3rd sector, values driven social enterprise working to support individuals, groups and organisations to improve lives and livelihoods. We work attentively and appreciatively with each client, to enable them to improve the quality of what you do with, and for others.

To achieve this, RL-UK uses an appreciative approach to enhance and sustain personal and organisational development. As an independent group of organisational strategists, we place the emphasis on improving lives and livelihoods through identifying and scaling-up positive experiences, strengths and successes.
RL-UK was established in 2001 and has already worked throughout Europe, the Far East, India and East Africa. It's internationally acclaimed PODs process combines positive planning with practical action and turns deficit issues into affirmative future aspirations.
Our PODs process enables each of our clients to accelerate personal and organisational learning. The focus is upon how to build better futures from the positive present, rather than dwelling on a problematic and unchangeable past.
PODs is informed by the principles of participatory and appreciative action research (PAAR). This is a particular approach to personal and organisational development specially developed by RL-UK and successfully used in public, private and not-for-profit sectors in a variety of cultural contexts. PODs is a practical, supportive, high impact capacity building and improvement process. The PODs improvement metrics enables every client to get a real sense of progress. Using PODs to benchmark progress increases vision, energy and creates an action focus.

RL-UK staff are very experienced and highly qualified in their specific fields. The Director of RL-UK, Professor (dr.) Tony Ghaye has an international reputation in personal and organisational development through participatory and appreciative processes. He has written, co-written or edited 17 books and published 104 scholarly papers and articles for different audiences. RL-UK also works with a growing number of 'associated process partners'. These people represent RL-UK in different 'communities' throughout the world.
