Question

[Lee Winger]

Hi AA just out of interest how many people does the AA employ full time and part time, and does the AA receive any funding from any sources other than members and I guess private donations.

Hi Lee, thanks for the post.

 

We currently employ 5 full time staff, inc. myself, and 2 prt time staff (one 2 days a week & one 4 days).

 

I solely manage the AAAC scheme, along with other things, and in Polly's current absence (maternity leave) Mel provides some level of admin etc. cover for her role.

 

General funding, as far as I'm aware, is from membership subs rather than any private donations (if people love trees they tend to donate to the Woodland Trust) but we do have income from training courses, seminars, workshops, conference etc. too.

 

The AAAC scheme, which is separate to AA membership, is funded wholly through annual subs and generates a nominal surplus each year.

 

Am I answering your question as I'm trying to '2nd guess' a bit?

 

Please post back.

 

Thanks..

Paul

Thanks Paul, you've answered my question, I was just curious as to how you're funded.

David,

 

Kayt, the AA Finance Officer, has been replaced by Louisa for 4 days a week.

 

Polly, the Membership & Accreditation Support Officer, has not been replaced and hence Mel is sometimes Polly...or should that be 'Molly' or 'Melly'!

 

Lastly Zoe, Training & Events Support Officer, was made redundant and is obviously not replaced but Tiff is covering this role too.

 

Sorry for any confusion (would help if I wasn't 'confused' so much of the time..'Matron!')

 

Thanks..
