How we run the ICBP
Our lives are ruled by the birds and their needs and so whatever structures are put in place, they change and grow as the changing needs of the birds and the visitors are understood.
Often bird staff are invited to join from the volunteer base, this is a great way to get to know people and what they can do for the Centre, and at the same time for those interested, to understand the work here and what it involves.
We have non-bird staff who help with the running of the office, shop café and gardens, but we like to think that we are a team, that no one person is better or less vital than another. We all get together everyday at coffee time, which we share with the dogs and on occasion young birds that might be being hand reared. Here we talk about the day, celebrate birthdays and discuss anything that might be coming up. It adds to the feeling of family which is what we aim at for the visitors. Coffee time can have three people and up to 18 on a good day!
