Whiteshill Playgroup – Trustees wanted
A message from Whiteshill Playgroup committee
We are looking for new trustees to join the Whiteshill Playgroup committee, and are particularly keen to recruit some local residents to join us.
It’s an extremely rewarding role, but it’s often difficult to recruit trustees from the parent cohort, due to family/work commitments and the short time that people’s children are enrolled at the setting before moving on to school. As such, we believe the support of some local residents joining the committee would significantly strengthen the playgroup’s prospects.
We are particularly keen to hear from people with some accounting or financial experience who could help us with our treasurer and vice-treasurer roles, which includes general bookkeeping, budget planning and management, and ensuring the committee meets regulatory obligations. However, we would welcome applications from anyone with some spare time and a willingness to get involved.
The playgroup has gone from strength to strength in the last few years under Play Leader Anna Morgan’s leadership. It continues to attract new starters from Whiteshill and beyond, due to its growing reputation as a quality childcare setting, and the children in our care are happy, flourishing, and very well looked after.
If you’re able to help and would like to find out more, please speak to Anna at the playgroup or email Tom Irwin at chair@whiteshillplaygroup.co.uk
Animal proof food recycle bins
A resident has advised that Stroud District Council now has animal proof food recycling bins available. It has been suggested that they would prevent the sort of mess that can occur when animals get in the containers. It was reported that a fox has been a problem for quite some time in the Upper Kitesnest area. Some residents put rocks on top of their bins – which does not always work as the fox is clever and just tips the bin over. Some residents have bins that don’t even have a handle.
