We want to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to our amazing community, staff and volunteers for everything over the last year.

Annual report and accounts

You can view our draft accounts with annual report here which we will talk through in more detail at the AGM.

You can also view the minutes of last year’s AGM here.

We will go through formal business of the AGM; the election of new Management Committee members and any motions.

Nominations for the Management Committee

It has been a tough year for all of us and we would welcome fresh energy from our community to join the Management Committee at this time. It would be especially great to have people with interest or experience in HR, managing staff and volunteers and in IT but welcome anyone who is keen to get on board.

If you’re interested in joining us, please send a short statement on your experience and motivations to our Chair – isla@diginbruntsfield.co.uk – by 6th February 2021. We are happy to chat to folk who may be interested in advance of the AGM, just get in touch.

Motions

If you wish to raise any constitutional issues at the AGM, you can raise a motion by sending an email to our Chair – isla@diginbruntsfield.co.uk – by 6th February 2021.

It’s been a busy month for the Dig-In team. Since November, not only have we launched our Community Share Offer but we now have a premesis in Brunstfield to call home.

119 Bruntsfield Place (previously Smart Cartridge) has had a little makeover since we got the keys on December 1st. The team have been painting the walls and scrubbing the surfaces to get the shop prepared for the next step, turning it into YOUR community Green Grocer.
