GOVERNANCE OF THE COTTAGE

The Cottage is governed by a management team who meet once a month. ​Their duties include setting and monitoring the Cottage's mission, purpose, direction, priorities and strategies within the boundaries of its constitution and legal obligation.

MEET OUR STAFF

Adrienne Carmichael

Community Development Facilitator

I have been privileged to be a community worker at the Cottage since 1996 and have witnessed amazing outcomes for people as they form friendships and move forward with their goals.  My role involves advocacy and supporting people in practical ways to make a positive difference in the direction they choose.  As the facilitator it is my job to ensure the cottage is well supported, networked and funded so our community has its own place where development and personal growth happens.

Cheryl Batwell​

Community Wellbeing Coordinator

I have worked in not-for-profit organisations globally since 1997 and together with my husband moved to New Zealand in November 2014 to be close to our family. I joined the Cottage at the end of July 2017 and have been  "blown away" by the wonderful community spirit that I've found here. I work along side Adrienne to support the programmes that are run at the Cottage. ​

Evelyn Lawson​

Treasurer/Funding Officer

My position involves keeping things ticking over financially.  This means applying for funding and managing the finances. I have had many years experience working for not-for-profit organisations and have been with Waltham Community Cottage since May 2016.

The Cottage would not function without their hard work and dedication towards their fellow community members.
