Vana Trust's strapline is "Contributing to the Community". For the blog, we have changed it to "Conversing with the Community" because one of the key reasons for our starting this blog is to encourage 'conversation and community'. 

You can do this in a number of ways:

Ms Smith, thanks for your letter of 12 April to the Dorfred Charitable Trust. We will certainly consider your requested donation but this will have to wait a few weeks now as we are presently inundated and I have just circulated a large batch to my fellow trustees. I hope to have some positive news for you before the end of May.

Yours, sincerely,

Philip Gardam

Hi

I live in the village and i have just recieved information regarding the varna trust and it's proposed project to introduce a scheme for young people with apparently mental healh issues, behavioural prolems and asylum seekers into our community.

Initially, i am a supporter of providing care and help to those in need, however i would like to outline mine, and many others, concerns regarding this apparent proposal. These would be, to start with, "why" absolutely no consultaion has taken place with local residents to my knowledege to date (and i am one of them) and "exactly" what is being proposed, either now and for the future?

I am very concerned and will certainley opose anything that is done within this village that directly may affect either me, my family, or the village as a whole, "without" correct consultation and agreement in the majority of it's residents, period. i am at this moment amazed as to why this would be considered by the varna trust as a viable program without appropriate consultaion? We are a community after all arn't we?

I look forward to hearing more

yours sincerley
