We were chuffed to have so many people express an interest in joining us as trustees, to run our charity and reopen the library.

Altogether, an incredible 11 people have volunteered to (potentially) get involved in this way.

We held a couple of ‘open sessions’ at the (very cold and unheated) library. We were really impressed by the enthusiasm of everyone we met.

Last Tuesday, the current four trustees (Ray, Nadina, Sarah and Ian) met to agree the formal process (as suggested by the Charity Commission).

Earlier today, each of the 11 were sent the Commission’s Declaration of Eligibility to complete and return to us (by 1 March).

We’ll then send them a ‘Trustee Pack’ that we’re putting together, with a deadline of 15 March for that to be completed and returned to us.

After that, we will confirm the names of our new trustees and invite them to an ‘induction’ session, which St George’s Primary has kindly agreed to host, so at least we know it will be warm…

N.B. We’ve now removed the ‘trustee’ option on the ‘Get Involved’ page.
