Admins are emails sent to your whole community, either responding to a problem that's come up or sharing good news - for example a membership milestone, or a stall at the local green fair.

Since January 2025, Admins can be sent in two formats: Essential or Newsletter. This split was introduced because many members objected to receiving non-essential information - see https://discourse.ilovefreegle.org/t/admins-and-newsletters/8178 for the explanation.

Below is a selection of standard Admins. Use them as they are, or adapt them to your community's needs.

These are generated centrally, and you can edit them, post them out, or ignore them. They're categorised as newsletters (not essential). The current messages are on this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1e5zyMNwiaAtdxHP7fFkuPy4bLu-VAGmfgJOBClmqHD8/edit?usp=drivesdk
