The Team

Mentors currently have 10 members and 1 Board observer:

Alison, Christian, Cooky, David, Diz, Jacqui, Jo and Leon. Sheila Little is the team coordinator Wanda is acting co-coordinator. Andy Ludlow is our Board observer.

This Month

Mentors have again been concentrating on group moves to Native hosting. Almost all of the caretaker groups moves will be complete by the end of this week. There is one last group with a high number of Yahoo users, that will be moved in the New Year. We are currently helping a few other group owners to move to native and will be happy to help any group that needs someone to do the move for them. Just mail us at mentors@ilovefreegle.org

If you want to do the move yourself but are not sure how, Mentors have a step-by-step guide that we are happy to send to people.

Caretaker Groups

There are currently 34 groups listed on the caretaker list needing new owners and 12 that are being cared for temporarily. These include some groups being cared for by non mentors. Since the list began, permanent new owners have been found for another 40 groups. Lambeth was taken off the list and is now being run by Dee and her team


If any group owners are going away over the Christmas period and need cover for the groups, please contact mentors. We are happy to help.


We come again to the list of groups under the care of caretakers. If any mod teams local to any of these groups would like to take any of these groups on as permanent new owners, please contact us.

Mentors are here to help groups any way we can. If you are struggling to cope, please let us know, we are happy to help out.

If you know of any group that is being left unmoderated for long periods, mentors can be contacted in strictest confidence. We would rather help out and get things back on track before a group ends up being abandoned.
