Why the blog - well I wanted to get a word in. I am a volunteer with Happy Staffie Rescue but my work is almost entirely behind the scenes. I helped put together our Articles and Memorandum of Association. I registered the company with Companies House and I am now putting together the application to the Charity Commission. Oh, and I am also the Treasurer.
The website is exclusively managed by Mark, though he receives occasional input from either the Directors (the Governance) or the volunteer Management Team. He is busy enough putting dogs on, news updates, advertising events, recruiting volunteers, attending fundraising events (as well as finding and organising them!) as well as running the Charity Shop without me nagging him about input to the website. Besides the detail of building a website is far to tedious for me to get embroiled in, so a blog was a natural, simple choice.
Hopefully this blog will not duplicate the website. That is, there won't be any dogs here, or much in the way of events. Occasionally I publicise something, but for more information of the actual charity please visit the website. This is more a personal blog where I hope to go through the journey the charity is making behind the scenes - the boring bit I guess.
