Complain to the Charities Commission
2024-12-23 15:15:07We now have 154 signatories in the petition!
Having not yet had a reply from the charity I have logged a complaint with the charities commission, and another concerned resident has done the same. The more people who complain the more likely the commission is to take this issue seriously.
It only takes a few minutes to log a complaint - if you can please do! Here's the website ..
https://forms.charitycommission.gov.uk/
The charity registration number is 1056355
And have a very merry xmas and new year!

Letter posted to charity trustees
2024-12-12 12:51:21I posted the letter this morning to all the trustees of the charity running Lansdown Hall. They should receive it by tomorrow or Monday latest. It's not possible for me to attach the letter here, so I have uploaded it to the 'Stand in the Park Stroud' Telegram channel for anyone wishing to read it.
We're up to 80 signatories! Let's keep it going, the more we have the stronger our case with the Charity Commission and the Court should it need to go that far.
David.

Next Steps
2024-12-11 16:47:02I am delighted to say we have 75 signatures now, and some excellent comments. The next step is to write to the charity with a Notice before Action letter, and I would like to include many of the comments made in the petition, but anonymously. The letter will suggest a remedy along the lines of a public apology, a written statement that no further cancelling will occur, and Lansdown to host Protocol 7 for free before the end of January 2025. If anyone would rather their comments not be inluded in the letter please let me know at skymanmuse@pm.me (no names will be included). I intend to post the letter to the trustees tomorrow, Thursday 12th December. I will publish the letter here once posted.
In the meantime, let's keep the petition going and see if we can hit the 100!
Thank you all for signing and for your comments.
David.

Quick update and strategy
2024-12-09 14:55:16I'm delighted that we have gathered 57 signatories in such a short time. Thank you all, and thanks to those who have added comments. I want to get this to over 100 if possible, so I'll keep sharing in our local groups, and please do same if you can.
My strategy is to send the results of the survey to the charity that runs Lansdown Hall and seek a solution through dialogue with them. Before doing this I will ask your permission to include your comments and first part of your post code. No names will be revealed. But if they don't want to cooperate then the next step is to report them to the Charities Commission and threaten legal action.
Let's get it to 100+ in the next week or so.
Our voices will be heard!
David.
