GDA news A message from Jenny Hopkins Some of you may already know that after ten very happy and fulfilling years at GDA, I have decided to move on in November. Those of you who know me will understand what a tough decision this has been, but I will be going with the knowledge that I have achieved everything I could ever have hoped to do with this wonderful organisation, and I believe GDA has now reached point where I can leave the best possible legacy and let the journey continue under Sharon, as the new CEO, with all the fresh energy and vision it deserves. Thank you to everyone for the huge support you have given me over the years. Welcoming new staff to the team As GDA continues to grow with the service it provides to deaf and hard of hearing people, so too does the staff team. We are delighted to have welcomed two new members of staff to the team this year; Sarah Cook joined as a new Bookings Coordinator in April, working alongside Mary Hailes to arrange British Sign Language (BSL interpreter bookings, and Steph Blackburn, who has come on board as Equipment Services Assistant, supporting the Hard of Hearing team. You can book an appointment to see Steph at GDA on a Monday and Wednesday, when she can provide advice on the wide-range of listening aid equipment we have available to buy, or on a Tuesday and Friday for hearing-aid maintenance.
