Crickey. Can't believe so long has passed since the last update. So much has moved on it is difficult to know where to start. The house has been purchased and work has started on stripping out prior to building work proper starting. And I really mean stripping out. All the plaster is off the walls, doorways and floorboards have been removed, most of the plasterboard ceilings pulled down. It is just the brick shell of the house still standing. All very messy, but very exciting too.
Discussions are on going with the Local Authority to identify the right people to move in and we are starting to recruit our first assistants. Finding the right people is absolutely vital. You can have the best policies, ethos, facilities, in the perfect setting and if you haven't got the quality of people you're wasting your time! So if you think you've got what it takes or if you know someone who you think may suit working in L'Arche let me know!
If all goes well we will be opening the doors in September 2012 so there's lot's to be getting on with.
I am just putting the finishing touches to the website now so that will be up and running in the next week or two and we are also putting out a newsletter to bring people up to date. So watch your inboxes!
