Online Community FAQs

Circle is an online platform, which gives Fellows a one-stop global digital space to connect, converse and collaborate on ideas and projects together.

It aims to increase the ease and frequency of engagement opportunities with the RSA and its Fellows. It enables our unique global network of changemakers, to come together in collective action, to create opportunities to regenerate our world.

If you don’t have a My RSA account already, you can register here. 

To get started on Circle, you need to have a My RSA account first, you can register here for My RSA. You can access Circle through My RSA, and set-up your account there. If you already have a My RSA account, your account details will be the same for Circle. 

Please note that Circle is only available to our Fellowship at the moment. 

Yes! We have worked hard to set up a seamless experience between My RSA and Circle. You will have the same account details for both platforms, simply register or log on to My RSA to get started with your Circle account. 

You can change your password by logging onto My RSA and navigating to ‘Your Account’, there you will be able to create a new password. This new password will be your login for both MyRSA and Circle.

If you have forgotten your password, select ‘forgotten password’ on the My RSA log-in page. This will generate an email with further instructions about how to change your password. This new password will be your login for both My RSA and Circle.

Usually, all correspondence from the RSA will be sent to the email address linked to your Fellowship. If you have been directly invited on to Circle, your invitation would have been sent to your email address linked to your Fellowship. 

If you are experiencing issues logging on to My RSA/Circle, please email fellowship@rsa.org.uk.

You will need to email fellowship@rsa.org.uk to change the email of your My RSA or Circle account. 

You can recover your account by emailing fellowship@rsa.org.uk. 

On My RSA there is a button on the top right corner that will take you to the Circle home page, please note that the first time you sign-on you will be asked to set up a Circle profile. If you are asked for log-in details on Circle, they are the same as your My RSA account.

Circle is only available to Fellows at the moment, if you leave the Fellowship, you will forfeit your Circle account and your profile will be deleted. If there is any information you need from your Circle account, we suggest you make note of it before your Fellowship leave date, as we are not able to remotely access your account. Your My RSA account will stay active, but the Find-a-Fellow feature will be removed.

In 2023, My RSA will be refreshed. My RSA will shift its focus to becoming a more personalised experience for Fellows to discover events, articles and other RSA content - and also act as a one-stop shop for updating your engagement preferences with the RSA.
