Week 696 — Go Free Range.
Summary
We rented some office space at Waterloo on Monday morning so we could get together to talk about whether and how to restructure GFR so that it better suits our individual circumstances. Over the past few years for globally-obvious reasons, and because we all have child- and other caring responsibilities, our ability and availability to work for GFR has changed. We asked for some suggestions in one of our co-op network chat groups and received the response: “We’ve been struggling with this for 10 years!” so we know we’re not alone. We agreed a, new for us, retainer-style agreement to provide a small amount of ongoing support after our full-time engagement ended. I’ve continued to do a small amount of consultancy work (this week mostly helping review hiring plans) for Access Social Care via the Disrupt Foundation.
