thefridayfive
1. Do you have a favourite cause that you support?
Gloucestershire Bundles. A baby bank (think food bank, but items for families with kids, in our case up to 16)
2. If so, how do you support it?
I'm a trustee and the treasurer, so responsible for the day to day finance, and also grant applications. I also go out and speak to other organisations.
3. Have you been an active member of an organization (attending meetings, volunteering, etc)?
Currently, see above. Also, I'm a member at my local church and help with a number of the children and family activities. In the summer I joined the British Trust for Ornithology, and count the (few) birds we see in our garden and also the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, because of the importance of the local environment, although I'm not active there. For some reason there doesn't seem to be much time!
4. Have you ever led any group?
In the past I've led both Girl Guides and Brownie Units.
5. If so, how was your experience with it?
I enjoyed it for a while, but I'd always preferred to assist rather than lead.
