Mentors Team Report 2018 10

The Team

Mentors currently have 10 members and 1 Board observer.

The Mentor team are:
Alison, Christian, Cooky, David, Diz, Jacqu, Jo and Vee. Sheila Little is the team coordinator, Wanda is acting co-coordinator. Andy Ludlow is our Board observer.

We welcome Vee to the team this month. Vee is going to be helping with the recruiting and training for caretaker groups.

Since Last Report

Mentors have been busy for the last couple of months with group moves. The move to Yahoo is now complete now and almost all groups were moved to Freegle Direct without too many problems. We lost five groups, two of which we never managed to make contact with. Those groups will be replaced on Freegle Direct if there is a need for them.

We are still looking after a few groups while the owner is unwell or absent for a while

A new group was started in Maidstone in Kent this week and we are mentoring the new owner .

We have had a little bit of a break the last couple of weeks after the hectic group moves and we will be starting to recruit and train new mods for some of the caretaker groups now that the moves are finished.

Caretaker Report

There are currently 45 groups listed on the caretaker list needing new owners and 10 that are being cared for temporarily. These include some groups currently being cared for by non-mentors.

Since the list began, permanent new owners have been found for another 47 groups.

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.
