Like most pre-schools, Taunton Opportunity Group (TOG) is run by a committee of volunteers. The Board of Trustees are involved in the overall management of the charity; overseeing finances, staff employment and the running of TOG’s services. Many of our committee members are former parents/carers, however we also have members from the wider community who share our passion for TOG and its important provision for babies, toddlers and pre-school aged children with special educational needs. TOG is a charity and children’s fees or funding do not fully cover our annual expenditure; we rely on fundraising and donations to make up the remainder of our running costs, and we are always looking for new volunteers to help with this process.
We welcome expressions of interest to join the committee; please speak with our Manager or get in contact our Chair of Trustees via email on chair@tauntonopportunitygroup.org.uk.
The Board of Trustees meet once every half term and each year in November there is an Annual General Meeting where the committee reports back to staff, volunteers and parents/carers on the management of the group over the previous year.
