Today the local paper ran a story about the closure of The WIRE. In all, it was a positive piece that focused on the good work we’ve achieved, however there are some problematic statements and halve-truths contained in the article that have already caused some consternation (and it’s only 12:30pm).
In particular, with personal reference, the Gazette claimed that I will be working for Arun Community Church from April 1st while my colleague Al Evans will continue in his current role under SureStart. Neither of these statements are true, although they are currently being explored.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about the article is how it so cavalier with the facts, sensationalizing the transformation the project is going through. Many of the vulnerable families and young people with whom we work wouldn’t have been aware of some of the changes that are happening and we were at pains to communicate to them sensitively. Unfortunately this article may have made my job a little harder!
