Food bank van rota sorted for April. Mostly. Two drivers swapped their Tuesdays without telling anyone, which I'm told is called self-organising.

If anyone near Manchester has a spare Saturday morning, we always need sorters. Tea and biscuits provided, conversation optional. :)

    • Self-organising is the dream, Sam. Out of curiosity, do you keep the rota on paper, in a shared spreadsheet, or in somebody's head?

      • Thinking about it more: the swaps could live right here on the network, in a small private group just for the drivers. Then they can trade shifts with each other and you stop being the middleman.

        • It really only needs three things: the group, an event for each shift, and notifications switched on so a swap shows up for everyone in the group.

          • Drivers could then join or leave a shift themselves, so nobody needs to message you at seven in the morning.

            • Tried the shift idea in a private group of my own this afternoon and it works the way I hoped. Message me when you have ten minutes and I'll walk you through it.
