We had a staff meeting today to talk about our possible relocation to the Holywell Community Centre. Reactions were decidedly mixed. There were some very positive views. But there were also concerns about relocating services away from the centre of Watford, about our relationship to Watford Borough Council, about access (the site is on the very edge of Watford), and about our relationship to existing users of the Centre. There were also more practical concerns about whether Watford CVS staff could physically fit into the site and how privacy and security can be maintained. All of these points will need to be addressed.

After the staff meeting, I caught up with correspondence – sending out reports for next week’s meeting on the BME Advocacy project. I left the office exhausted at 6:00 pm: the earliest I have left all week.
