To friends and colleagues of London Tenants and of Sharon Hayward.
The directors/trustees of London Tenants regret to tell you that Sharon has been taken unwell and is currently in hospital. She is recovering but we have no information on when and whether she might be expected to return to work.
The directors/trustees working with the remaining staff have put measures in place to support staff. We are determined to deliver funded objectives in our operational plan and are urgently analysing how this can be done. Fortunately, we have the support of our funders, and adequate funding to continue our work. Inevitably, there will have to be changes to what we might have wished to do. As part of our analysis, we are reviewing the timeline of events and will publish this as soon as possible. Please keep diary dates but continue to check them against our website, correspondence, Facebook page or twitter feed, as they are liable to change. We currently intend that the General Meeting to take place on 7th June should consider the position we are now in; please watch for confirmation and an agenda. Any volunteers to help us during this difficult time would be welcome.
General work-related issues can be directed to info@londontenants.org; messages that would have gone to Sharon should be directed to both joseph@londontenants.org and sarah@londontenants.org. Sharon can receive good luck messages through her WhatsApp account or cards by post to our mailing address: Sharon Hayward c/o London Tenants Federation, 86-90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE. We will pass them along to her family, who will relay them to her. Her family have approved this message.
