The Management committee
The house is at a point where it is very much in need of some fresh input from women with suitable skills, commitment and time. Previous relevant experience would be particularly welcome, but enthusiasm is just as important!
The MC is the group of women that support the workers to run the house, and makes decisions on house issues and employment. Meetings are held every five or six weeks, and the women take on other tasks that support the house, as they are able. Before becoming a Management Committee member, you will usually be expected to attend three consecutive meetings, and demonstrate your commitment by taking on a project or doing some house-sitting. If you would like to know more, ask a worker or see the MC page.
Dates of the next meetings are:-
- 27th May 2012
- 5th July 2012
The Co-op
The house is owned and run as a co-operative. Co-op members are ultimately responsible for the house. They are women who have been previously involved as workers at the house, or in some other capacity i.e. Management Committee members. There are 2 General Meetings each year at which Co-op members can be kept up-to-date about the house and make any major decisions or policy changes. This is also the time when women can apply to join the Co-op. Successful applicants pay £1 to become a member
