We’ve been very busy behind the scenes this last couple of months, and we want to share news of a few changes within our team. The Trust has grown rapidly in recent years, which has necessitated a restructure to best manage our resources and address business risks.
The main driver has been the need to increase capacity in our finance and operations functions to ensure our financial sustainability and organisational resilience. Following a period of consultation with the relevant members of the team, several new roles have been created. Information on the roles is available on the NBN Trust website.
Unfortunately, to fund the new roles we needed to reduce capacity within the Communications and Engagement team. We will continue to prioritise the delivery of Network News, the NBN Conference and NBN Awards, our annual Impact Report, and our Membership scheme, but we will have less capacity to engage in other Comms work. We will no longer have a dedicated iNaturalistUK Lead, but we will continue to deliver our role within the National Education Nature Park project, and we will promote and support iNaturalistUK, albeit somewhat scaled back. We know we can count on your patience as we settle into our new structure.
