2016 Opening Doors London July groups and activities Exciting Times / Challenging Times As ODL edges closer to becoming a charity in its own right on the 1st of July, we have been working hard to ensure a smooth transfer from ODL the project to ODL the organisation. Exciting times! I have now been in post since the start of May and been on a rollercoaster ride of getting to know the ODL team; meeting members, Ambassadors, volunteers and Trustees; and getting all the things which need to be in place for ODL to transfer into a new charity – in place. We hope that this change will not only make ODL even more responsive to the needs of older LGBT* people – but also help our fundraising endeavours. These are challenging times for charities – and so, more than ever, we need all members to help us raise funds. This month’s fundraising focus is to encourage all members to sponsor the GLEE/ PwC team to take part in the Pride Run on 13th August to raise funds for ODL. Last year they raised £3k … let’s help them double that here: https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/gleepride10k2016 We have a fabulous new Board of 7 under the leadership of our new Chair: Professor Jeffrey Weeks. They have now met twice and are balancing getting to know each other with learning more about the business of running ODL as a subsidiary charity - and are really enthusiastic about ODL and ensuring that we continue champion and meet the needs of the older LGBT* community.
