About the Board

BFoE is a Community Benefit Society — a type of co-operative — giving each member one vote. Members elect the Board of Directors at the AGM. The Board is legally responsible for the actions of BFoE, oversees the Warehouse building, manages finances and employees, and supports the work of the campaigns group.

The Board delegates the choice and organisation of campaigning activities to active campaigners — the group that meets on Monday nights — and receives a report on them at each Board meeting.

Members are welcome to stand for election to the board whenever there are vacancies. It’s best to approach current members first so they can explain what’s involved and what skills are currently needed.
