I'm not surprised as rumours goes that certain JH earns £200 a day

The story didn't add up then and it certainly doesn't now. The announcement last week and the accounts given show the perilous state of finances in the hands of the current management.
There was a small deficit but a healthy set of reserves when the current CEO took over, now the organisation is in dire straights - are the trustees asking why?

And both before the AGM in January. What a strange coincidence.

Please show your support. The way this is going this will be the last Christmas you can spend at The Church of the Good Shepherd. By Christmas 2010 the Good Shepherd will have been eaten by the Wolf and the Tigers will have built a car park on the site.

As I understand it the Diocese has made a committment to continue to support the Deaf Church/Chaplaincy.
Whatever happens you will have a church - our Loughborough Church is still meeting but within another building, and the Chaplain continues to support the Hard of Hearing group services in their new Loughborough venue.
If you lose your Deaf church building there is little the Diocese can do at this stage - that would be down to management decisions at Action Deafness - but it will continue to offer services, wherever they may be based.

As usual people are upset about things that are happening in AD.
The problem is that the building is run for the deaf but there is no information about the changes and the AD staff seem to think that they know what best for the deaf community. Without asking us they think they know best and are very surprise at why is every project they set up, suposing to be for the deaf benefit, is a flop.
Why? l thought the staff know what we want and until they ask us it will carry on the same way.

I've created a link to your blog under the existing link to the Leicester Deaf Club website. Hope this link helps people to continue finding out the information you guys are keeping in the public domain.

And yet they persist in telling us that there are no plans to sell!!! They really must think we are stupid. Get rid of staff, sell minibus, hmmmm wonder where this is heading. He'll be flogging the church silver on eBay soon. More business minded people might call this asset stripping. After all I bet be doesn't have room at his new offices for a minibus and half the stuff stored at AD. Best get rid of it now eh? Wonder how much of the community's culture in the form of archives and photos will find their way to a rubbish tip. This is a scorched earth policy by someone who thinks the deaf community are his 'sworn adversaries'. His words. He really really despises the Leicester Deaf Community.
