GDA news 3 New! Listening Aid Showroom GDA has undergone a bit of a transformation recently and the results are, even if we do say so ourselves, amazing. We owe our thanks to the Gloucestershire Environmental Trust (GET) for awarding GDA a third grant in as many years so that we could complete the major refurbishment of our Colin Road office and community centre building. The work enables GDA to be fit for purpose as our charity grows to meet a huge increase in demand for our services. The most important change for the hundreds of people who visit us to try out and buy listening aids and visual alerts has to be our new beautiful, light and comfortable equipment showroom. The new display cabinets allow everyone to see instantly the full range of amplifying telephones, personal listeners, TV listeners, and doorbell alerts that we have available, and of course you can still depend on GDA for expert and impartial advice when making a choice. We've been delighted with the early feedback about the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Please book ahead if you would like to make an appointment. Other improvements we have been able to undertake include a new, enlarged reception; a reconfigured main office to create a more inclusive environment for our mix of deaf and hearing staff; a new consulting/meeting room upstairs; major roof repairs (which thankfully were completed just ahead of the December snow); and finally treating and repainting of all our external paintwork - our thanks to a team of volunteers from TSB (pictured) for lending a hand with the decorating. Grants for infrastructure improvement such as we have received from GET are vital; the best bit about all the repair and refurbishment of our old Victorian building is that we have achieved it without taking any money away from our important frontline services, and it has made a huge difference already in how we can deliver that work.
