Management and Committee
Management
The management of the Group is entrusted to the Committee, which consists of the Officers namely Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Treasurer and up to 12 other members plus co-opted members. The committee meets no less than four times a year.
All Officers and Committee Members are members of the Group. Each of the Parish Councils of the seven parishes of Boltons, Caldbeck, Castle Sowerby, Ireby with Uldale, Mungrisdale, Sebergham & Welton, and Westward & Rosley is represented on the committee. Members are elected annually at the Annual General Meeting.
The day to day running of the Group is in the hands of Sue Clarke, the Group Co-ordinator, who liaises weekly with the Chairman and Treasurer and works closely with Carol Hickson, the Minibus Co-ordinator, Doreen Gleed, the Lend a Hand Co-ordinator, Anne Burgess, the Village Agent Co-ordinator, and Antoinette Ward, the Benefits Worker. These paid workers are all part time and the Group could not run its services without the 26 voluntary Minibus drivers and 19 Lend a Hand volunteers.
The Committee has powers to do all things necessary and desirable in pursuit of the objects of the Group.
