			The team are a hard working team who are all very stretched and we really could do with some fresh volunteers. All you need is patience and the ability to moderate and help another group owner to moderate, or to run an extra group or two.

			Please bear in mind some of these groups may need long term caretaking as volunteers can be difficult to find.

			All Caretaker groups are added to modtools. It takes a few minutes extra each time you moderate to clear the messages on extra groups.

	Mentors have been working to try and encourage some of the groups not currently using Freegle Direct, to have it added. Edward sends us regular lists of the groups currently not using FD and we have emailed each one, offering Jeans help to install it on groups. To help Jean with what could be a mammoth task, Wanda has been working alongside Jean to learn how to install Freegle Direct and how to link it up with Twitter and Facebook.

	We individually emailed eighty five groups and we had just four replies asking us to add Freegle Direct. One was from an owner with two groups, so we have five new groups using Freegle Direct as a result of those emails. Just four replies from eighty five emails was a lot less than we had hoped for, so we will be emailing groups again over the coming weeks.

Contact us on mentors@ilovefreegle.org we are happy to be removed from the mods list on your return.		We haven’t had many requests for help with holiday cover yet.
