Volunteers

Volunteers are welcome here at Glyde-In and we couldn’t do without them. Our volunteers are many and varied, with people sometimes working in teams and at other times independently. Our current volunteer roles include:

• Management Committee: Elected for 12 months from the members at the Annual General Meeting. The committee meets no less than six times per year. Roles include Chairperson, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and between two and eight additional members;

• Mail-out Group: This group ensures that members receive the term programmes;
• Enrolment Group: Around 25 people, including staff and volunteers, who help ensure that the enrolment process is carried out smoothly and efficiently on Enrolment day each term; 
• Maintenance: Small jobs crop up that need attending to in our building; 
• Events assistance: Room set-up for courses and talks, welcoming members and introducing speakers;
• Occasional office relief;
