Re; THE PROPOSED GRANT CUTS TO
NOTTINGHAM LESBIAN AND GAY SWITCHBOARD
Nottingham Switchboard has just received a letter from
the new Notts Teaching Primary Care Trust saying that the
consultation procedure about Rushcliffe PCT's proposal to
stop its grant produced a large supportive feedback from
"stakeholders" ... that’s you! This convinced
them to reverse Rushcliffe's proposal and maintain a grant
to Switchboard. So, to the 100s of people who signed forms,
sent e-mails, made phone calls or wrote letters (including
Kenneth Clarke MP) and to the 35 organisations which added
their support, we give our thanks. This good news means
that, in the medium term, our basic service is no longer
under threat. We are, however, still struggling to fund
important “extras” such as the £1500/year
cost of QB and the £2000/year to continue our work
in North Nottinghamshire.
