Volunteer vacancies

Some years ago, Volunteers decided that a group needed to be formed to improve the way Volunteers fitted in with the work of the Forest staff team. COG is now a constituted group with chairman, secretary and treasurer, meeting roughly quarterly.  Its main aims are to:

• Ensure needs for volunteer help are matched by volunteers
• Ensure Volunteers are looked after and enjoy their time with the Forest
• Organise training for Volunteers
• Raise money for the Volunteer group and for the Marston Vale Trust
• Organise an irregular programme of social events for Volunteers
• Produce a newsletter for Volunteers

COG meetings happen at the Forest Centre on weekday evenings and are open to any Volunteer to attend

The next COG meeting will be held on Tuesday 29 January. You are very welcome to join us. It's an opportunity to meet the people who run the Forest Volunteer group, get involved and influence the way things happen.

Please email volunteers@marstonvale.org in advance to let us know that you will be coming.

Volunteer Trustee

The Marston Vale Trust has since 2005, had one trustee drawn from the Forest Volunteers. This move demonstrates the importance that the Trust places on its Volunteers. Our first Volunteer trustee was Sally Williams who passed on the position in November 2007, to Joan Ferguson.
