Working Groups

Working Groups are designed to focus on particular areas/topics, to keep the traffic on the Central group down to manageable levels.

They are open to all Freegle Volunteers; see here for the membership policy of the central groups.

The Freegle Working Groups document explains how the main groups carry out their business.

• Freegle Growth - this group is dedicated to supporting Volunteers and Groups achieve growth of their Groups. Open to all Freegle Volunteers who are interested. [1] .

• Freegle Local Funding - A group set up for looking at the availability of local funding opportunities and offering support to local groups who wish to access financial assistance [2]

• Freegle Media - A Freegle Working Group to help raise Freegle's media profile and improve visibility of Freegle generally, with an aim to increase member subscriptions. Open to all FreegleUK Central members who are interested. [3]

• Freegle Structure - A group to develop proposals for how Freegle works as an organisation. Open to all Freegle Volunteers who are interested. [4] A Trading Subsidiary Working Team was appointed February 2013.

• Freegle Tech - A working group for technical discussions about tools/websites etc. Open to all FreegleUK Central members who are interested.[5]]

There are also two closed groups:

• Freegle Geeks - A private discussion group for those involved in the central Freegle web provision.

• Freegle Legal - A group of volunteers (not necessarily moderators) to help advise on legal issues affecting Freegle. Open to all FreegleUK Central members to read, and people with legal expertise to post.[6]

When any group or team is 'closed' to general view or membership, it should have an elected role holder observer.
