Roles and founders

You lead unless you choose someone else. Open roles show on the cell's page for others to take.

Email addresses or member names, one per line. Members get an invitation; others get an email to join.

Who holds each role (you lead unless you choose)
  • Lead
  • Secretary
  • Sector liaison

Host organisation

The organisation the cell works under. A network body can host it if you have none.

Charter

A starting charter from the type. The founders ratify it by a vote once the cell forms, and can amend it by proposal.

Safeguarding

Who takes part

With members under 18, a safeguarding contact is named in Roles, and their names are never shown in public.
