Jim Glennon Training and Policy Coordinator jim.glennon@openingdoorslondon.org.uk Tel: 020 7239 0400 Jim joins ODL following twenty years’ experience in the development of health and social care training and consultancy at a local, regional and national level, including work with several leading LGBT* organisations. He has also worked as policy advisor to Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea and chaired Policy Group meetings of the Government funded Community Development Foundation. His role will be to develop the training and consultancy area of ODL, and to support our Ambassadors in representing ODL at external meetings.
Ali Negyal Training Team Administrator ali.negyal@openingdoorslondon.org.uk Tel: 020 7239 0400 Ali supports the work of our Training Consultancy Team. He has had a mixed career across the private, public and charity sectors. For the last decade, his work has focused primarily on delivering or developing services for homeless people, and commissioning specialist accommodation for older people who require care and support.
October was such an exciting month – with Opening Doors London being nominated for two awards. Thank you to everyone who voted for the Pink News Awards. We didn’t win but it was fantastic that ODL was shortlistedfor the Community Group of the Year. We have also been nominated for Charity of the Year at the European Diversity Awards. It is great for the team and our many volunteers to get recognition for all the work they do supporting our community. I’m proud to lead an organisation where everyone is so committed – and where members are so actively involved. Fundraising: ODL raises funds in a variety of ways: - We apply for grants - We earn income by providing training - We receive donations from individuals - We have people who fundraise for us We have had some fantastic support over recent months – dress down days, raffles, ping pong and pizza and product sales. We are always looking for people to put on events to fundraise for us – and it would be fabulous if more members got involved! If you have an idea for raising funds and would like some advice and support or for us to promote what you are doing – let us know by emailing suzy.barber@openingdoorslondon.org.uk You might want to do a sponsored event – shave your head, walk the Pennine Way or do a parachute jump!!! Or you could host a coffee morning or cheese and wine evening. Anything which will help raise much needed funds will be much appreciated! You are also invited to become a Friend of Opening Doors London. Have a look on our website. You can contribute as little or as much as you would like. Our Friends programme shows other funders that we are not a passive organisation but have the support of the wider community – and of course, we need the money! Some of you may have attended the Will Writing Workshop in October – I hope you found it useful. Writing a will is one of those things no one wants to do but is relieved once it’s done – so our will writing events are to help members feel more confident about planning your finances. If you would like more information about leaving a donation to ODL in your will – have a look at our LEGACY section on the ODL website. Developing our training capacity: I am delighted to welcome Jim Glennon and Ali Negyal to the ODL team to deliver training and consultancy to other organisations on the needs and experience of older LGBT* people.
They will be working with our team of associate and volunteer trainers to support the development of the skills and expertise so staff in mainstream organisations can give correct, non-judgemental personalised care to our communities. Over coming months, our associate trainer, Dr. David Woodhead will be delivering a whole systems training events to service providing services to older people in a number of boroughs. The event will take a World Café format: a dynamic set-up in which participants can shape the outcome. The theme of the event will be ‘Are services in your Borough well-designed to meet the needs of older LGBT*-people?’ The first events will be in Haringey, Islington and Camden. If you live in one of these boroughs and would like to participate, or would like to train as a volunteer Trainer, then please email us at training@ openingdoorslondon.org.uk Out and about in Southwark We are pleased that we have received funding to develop our work in Southwark.

Men’s Speakers Night: Intro to Wine & Winemaking Henderson Court Resource Centre
Our November walk takes us to Royal (and sometimes less than royal) Kingston upon Thames. We meet at Kingston Railway Station. As our guide, we are privileged to have Peter Cowin, local resident and Westminster and Camden Guide colleague of Peter’s, to reveal its secrets.
You will need to wait for a reply before you can be sure that a place has been booked for you, or better still: Book a free ticket upon Eventbrite (using password “saxon”), which will instantly guarantee you a place: https:// openingdoorwalkgroupkingston. eventbrite.co.uk)
Do you want to learn more about food and beverage history?
‘Location, location, location’ certainly applies to Kingston, being well placed on the The Thames and associated with royalty from Saxon times. It claims at least 2 (or was it 7?) coronations. Its ancient market place and riverside industry brought wealth and generous benefactors, whose legacy is still in evidence today. We will explore its riverside, bridge and markets as well as discovering a use for redundant telephone boxes, finding a memorial to a famous dog and much more.
These walks are proving popular so if you find yourself unable to come along, having booked, kindly let us know so that your place can be offered to someone else on the waiting list.
We will try to explain you all the steps to make good wines and taste some of them. Come and explore different types of White Wine in Henderson Court. Bring your own snacks & bottle for a complete experience. Social: 6pm Tasting: 7pm
14:15pm for 14:30pm start
