We petition for the chief executive resignation from the leicester deaf centre While the chief executive has worked there, for 3 and a half years, charity has gone further into debt. Now Loughborough Centre CLOSING! Leicester Deaf Centre will CLOSE if we do nothing! We need a new chief executive with the belief that the centre can stay open. Decisions and management need to reflect the desire to stay open. At the minute, looks like every decision is moving one step closer to closing Leicester centre. Loughborough Deaf Centre is home to 7, YES SEVEN, groups. There is lots of secrets about the Loughborough Centre. We are told that £300,000 worth of repairs are needed. But in Leicester Mercury, we read only £2,000. We need proof of £300,000. Deaf mission has existed for over 100 YEARS! We cannot allow for both buildings to close. Over past years, income for charity is going down more and more. 2006: Income: £703,000 Spend £780,000 2007: Income: £559,000 Spend £870,000 2008: Income: £574,000 Spend £902,000 Why spending more every year THIS IS FACT. Go to charity commission website for proof. This is BAD MONEY MANAGEMENT. Has to be stopped now. Because if carry on, will be forced to sell building. Sign now and make sure we have a deaf centre for deaf culture and community for future.

I was looking at the screen and realized how much this has grown and I honestly cannot believe the energy behind this because it really feels like people are finally paying attention to the mess with the finances. It is just wild to think about how all those years of bad decisions are being called out now and I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that so many people care about saving this place as much as I do.

The community needs this place. Stop the lies about money and show us the real figures. We deserve to know why you are closing everything down.

Disgusted by how this is being handled. The staff and members are being kept in the dark and its not fair.
