A charity is to have a website controlled by employees under direction from the trustees who are elected by the members?
How awful.
Do any fellow unpaid volunteers have a view on the changeover of the
charity from using the volunteer controlled wiki as a front end, to
using a fixed employee controlled website?
I feel this will be the end of the UK wiki in terms of being a public
landing site with immediate engagement with fellow volunteers.
Instead, we will have a public relations website subject to control by
the Chief Executive, presumably full of good news, and hidden behind
it will be the UK wiki, now acting only as a forum rather than a space
where volunteers could create pages that support fund-raisers, openly
discuss real issues, problems and so forth.
As a community of volunteers, we seem to have let the charity
gradually drift away from being volunteer driven and volunteer centric
and become overly sensitive to public relations. I am not sure why we
let that happen.
