3.1 Board Structure

The Board comprises up to 9 elected Directors and 2 appointed external Directors. A term of office for an elected Director is normally 3 years. Officers are appointed by the Board annually, plus other named roles.

See Freegle Board for the current list of Directors.

The Board elects three Officers: Chair, Society Secretary and Finance Director.

The Board also appoints, from within the Board, six Portfolio Leads covering Technology, Volunteer Engagement, Fundraising & Partnerships, Communications & PR, Legal & Risk, and Impact & Strategy.

Freegle has no employees; rather it contracts a small team of contractors. You can find out more here: Contracted Roles

We rely heavily on our fantastic team of volunteers, both at a national and local level. You can find details about our National Volunteers here: Freegle Teams
