Subject: Join our workers co-op - Kaba PC in Leeds
To: Cath Cornerstone <leedscath@fastmail.co.uk>

Dear friends - I'm writing to you because you're a co-op or you're
interested in co-ops or you're interested in eco stuff or because you might
know someone who needs a job and is willing to move to Leeds - please
forward widely, thanks - Cath Muller (Footprint/Cornerstone/Rad Routes)
**************************

Kaba PC CIC workers co-op in Burley, Leeds is a PC- and laptop-recycling,
fixing and refurbishing business, which trains people in computer hardware
and software skills and sells second hand refurbished IT equipment.

Kaba is looking for 2-3 new members (not necessarily techy) to help us
become

-

a thriving business
-

managed collectively by the workers
-

committed to giving local people access to IT
-

safeguarding the planet by diverting electronic waste from landfill

Kaba has been running for a couple of years on voluntary labour and we
are now moving towards generating income to pay wages. Although we don't
have that income yet, we are developing a good business plan, so we know we
can get it once we have enough energy going into the business.

We're looking for entrepreneurial, co-operative people, able to work 2-3
days/week for free for a month or so and who are then able to survive on
fairly low incomes, perhaps supplemented by tax credits or another
part-time job for another few months.

The deadline for applications is 3pm, 1st August. Interviews will be held
the following week.

For information about Kaba, about the job and the skills needed and about
the application procedure, go to:

www.kaba-pc.org.uk

If you want to speak to someone about the co-op or would like a copy of
the business plan (work in progress), please email
admin@kaba-pc.org.uk<https://www.fastmail.fm/html/?MLS=MR-**f11725871u18278*;SMB-CF=11725871;SMB-MF-DR=10;SMR-PT=;SMR-UM=f11725871u18278;u=86fa41b1;MSignal=MC-FN*U-1*admin%40kaba-pc.org.uk>or
call Gauthier on 07551
389055.

Thanks for forwarding
In Co-operation
Moses, Gauthier, Cath

Idaho's Clearwater Basin Bioregion Atlas is the most comprehensive I've
