Whats On
GDA Board Plans for the Future

With future funding so uncertain, Gloucestershire Deaf Association (GDA) knows there are huge financial challenges ahead, and how to keep up the momentum of success it has achieved over the past few years is the subject of a Strategy Day for trustees and staff at the end of July.

 

One of the big questions concerns the charity's site on Colin Road, Gloucester. Comprising a 100-year-old building (the former Barnwood Primary School), a garden and also a car park for up to 40 cars, the site is in many ways a wonderful asset but also the organisation's biggest financial burden.

 

It is a second home to many Deaf British sign language users, and since refurbishment just over a year ago, has also developed into a thriving venue not just for deaf and hard of hearing groups, but for other organisations too, most of them smaller charities.

 

Anyone with expertise in planning and re-development and who is willing to give some time to help GDA in a free advisory capacity, please get in touch.
