I started today with a Staff meeting. Among many other items, and following earlier discussions, we again discussed the possibility of redundancies. It is too easy to blame this on The Credit Crunch but there is some connection and 2008-09 was not a triumphant year for our fundraising. More importantly, the prospects for 2009-10 do not look good either. Naturally we are exploring all manner of options and alternatives.

At lunchtime, I met with my Chair of Trustees who as ever had some excellent advice. We also discussed our review of insurance needs and on behalf of the full trustee board she agreed that we should place our insurance with Tennyson.

After this, I went to the Holywell Community Centre to meet with an architect who advised what is (and isn’t) practicable for the Holywell Centre.
