Each year at the AGM, the members of GLA elect a committee. The composition, limits and means of election of this committee is specified in the Rules of CDAS Ltd, the legally registered society of which GLA is a section. All work entirely on a voluntary basis.

Their task of the committee is to make the site effectively work in a number of different ways:

• as a place where people can grow fruits, vegetables and flowers
• as a community hub
• as a refuge for nature and wildlife

And to do this safely and sustainably.

A wide number of roles are involved. For example:

• liaising with outsie bodies such as Dulwich Estate
• keeping facities on the site in good order and repair
• dealing with contractors
• ensuring supplies of materials (straw, logs, manure etc.) are delivered
• managing lettings
• keeping accounts
• managing membership
• organising work parties
• running gatherings at the hut
• ordering and selling seedlings
• running inspections
• keeping the members informed
