MARGARET MATTINGLEY – CHAIR PERSON
My volunteering goes back to 1979 to 1982, when my father was organising ways of raising money. I volunteered to do flower demonstrations for community groups and the money raised went into the funds pot. When Dad gave up at the Centre in 2000, I joined the management as a team member to continue to help running the Centre, and from doing this I then became chair of the management, a post I hold today.
DOREEN LLOYD – TRUSTEE & SHOP MANAGER
I started at the centre on a one off to help at the Autumn Fair on a stall and 20 years later I am still here. I have done varied jobs and enjoyed every moment. Everybody is friendly and good company. I am now shop manager and have joined the board of Trustees.
GEOFF WRIGHT – TRUSTEE & VICE CHAIRMAN
I first heard about this amazing self funding charity in the early 80’s through my aunt who was a regular member. When I retired in 2013, I started volunteering by prepping the vegetables for the Wednesday and Thursday Lunch Clubs. I also came to the Friday coffee mornings and over the years have become a trustee and Vice Chairman. It’s great being involved with such a forward looking centre with hard working conscientious staff.
DAVID GREENWOOD – TRUSTEE & MEDIA/ADMIN SUPPORT
In 2019 I decided I wanted to give something back to the community so I joined the Maurice Jagger Centre as a volunteer.
I now work two days a week in the office as Volunteer Admin Support under the guidance of Alison. The work is very enjoyable and varied, I keep updated records of Luncheon Club members, update the centre website and sell on ebay any valuable items that come into our shop. In February I joined the board of trustee.
I especially enjoy meeting the Luncheon Club members they are a great mix of people and sometimes very entertaining. I hope I am contributing to the centres ethos for the better of the members.
RENEE WEBSTER – TRUSTEE & SHOP MANAGER SUPPORT
I joined the Maurice Jagger Centre team in 2013 initially as a volunteer organising books and brick-a-brac also greetings cards.
I thoroughly enjoy helping out and getting involved at the centre and interacting with the other team members and the people that attend the centre and in February was appointed onto the board of Trustees.
JUNE SPARK – TRUSTEE TRANSPORT COORDINATOR
Started volunteering in 2013 as an Escort/Driver, upgraded to Transport Manager. Retired and only cover for holidays or when needed and also doing paperwork for vehicles. In 2024 I was asked to become a Trustee Transport Coordinator and accepted.
ALISON STEVENS – PART TIME SENIOR ADMINISTRATION MANAGER
I joined as a volunteer in January 2016 updating the website and waitressing at the Luncheon Clubs and helping out at other events like the Autumn Fair. I later also took on a part time role working a couple of mornings per week doing the Centre’s admin which I thoroughly enjoy. I meet and work with lots of lovely people and really enjoy my time there.
I want to make a difference by supporting the Trustees in maintaining the building to a high standard for everyone to enjoy.
TRACEY POSKITT – PART TIME ADMINISTRATOR
SUSAN MITCHELL – PART TIME COOK
CHRIS PETERS – PART TIME CARETAKER
After leaving my job as an upholsterer and vehicle builder in 2013, I was offered the position as caretaker at the MJC. The job is varied and I get to meet some interesting people.
We could not manage to run the Centre without our dedicated volunteers……
