Board Observer Guidelines

These guidelines were adopted by the Board on 28th January 2015.

The Board holds legal responsibility for Freegle. It is important that the Directors are aware of activities undertaken on behalf of Freegle, so the following will hopefully help provide good communication between other volunteers and the Board.

A Director will be appointed for each of the following:

• Central Group -Owner
• Development Working Group - Owner
• Freshers Group - Owner
• Funding Working Group - Owner
• GAT - Observer member
• Geeks Team - Observer member(Head of IT)
• Mentors Team - Observer member
• Tech Working Group - Owner

The purpose of Board Observers is to make sure teams and groups remain within their remit and to report regularly to the Board on general activity and personnel changes.

Spreadsheets with information that’s collectively used by teams and groups should ensure that the Board can access them via the board@ilovefreegle.org address.

Independent mailboxes are subject to Mailbox Guidelines. Each of the ‘external’ mailboxes and social media accounts should have a designated Director observer, eg.

• mail@ (which includes webmaster@)
• media@
• support@
• volunteers@
• facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Freegle
• twitter - @ThisIsFreegle
• Pinterest
