Director Induction Information

Following Election/Appointment to the Board

The initial information exchange between the Board and a new Director will include:

• Access to the Board discussion group.
• Inclusion on the Board Register of Directors
• The new Board member will be required to present (either visibly or via sending copies to secretary@ilovefreegle.org) ID, including proof of identity (passport, driving licence) and proof of address (utility bill in the last three months). This will be logged as seen in the director's register. No copies of the proof of ID will be kept on file.
• A Fit and Proper Person Form must be completed at the induction stage and also at the re-election at an AGM for every board member.

Responsibilities of Directors

The Board discusses day to day matters on the Board Group and uses polls to help with decision-making. Board members are expected to read all mails on and contribute regularly to this group.

As well as Freegle UK Central there are 3 working groups to which all volunteers are entitled to join. All board members should be on at least daily digest on these groups, to gain an understanding of the current work and opinions of Members and Volunteers.

A Board meeting is held once a month by Zoom; board members are expected to attend, submit reports of work they have undertaken and participate in discussion. Formal minutes are produced and can be found here:
