Finally received response from @The_Blue_Cross trustees to our complaint. But an ex employee is still waiting for a reply to this letter. @chrisburghes @kellygrellier1 please tell trustees that ignoring problems won't make them go away, they will just become public complaints
@The_Blue_Cross@EmmaBarton The really sad thing is that if you had addressed your own waste & inefficiencies you could have kept rehoming centres open and helped even more pets and people (...and still not touched your millions in reserves).Those who work at HO know what we refer to. #savebluecrosslewknor
Too late to #savebluecrosslewknor but take note of how @the_blue_cross spends your donations. Strategy is now to "help" not rehome - it's cheaper than caring for pets with complex needs. More money for marketing & management, less for abandoned & homeless pets.
@savebxlewknor@EmmaBarton@The_Blue_Cross Have Blue Cross lost sight of what they are there for?
Instead of trying to be reality Tv Stars, shouldnt they stick to their knitting and look after abandoned animals?
@The_Blue_Cross@EmmaBarton Helping is not the same as rehoming. Other charities already deal with "easy" cases. @The_Blue_Cross used to have a reputation for looking after complex needs. Your 3 Year Strategy takes the easy route. More money for marketing. Less for rehoming. Heartbreaking π #animalwelfare
Heartbreaking that beautiful dogs like Eric can't be fostered in our area once our rehoming centre closes. @The_Blue_Cross claims Burford centre can support fostering, but their own rules state not from this distance π’ #savebluecrosslewknor#ericthesuperdog#animalwelfare
@chrisburghes @kellygrellier1 Have you seen the email sent by a past employee to @The_Blue_Cross trustees? He resigned after seeing what goes on at HO, & lost faith in management ethics & accountability. But instead of addressing bad practice you choose to close rehoming centres
Latest press coverage.Too late to #savebluecrosslewknor but a complaint against @The_Blue_Cross trustees has been submitted. More to come. A past employee has also written to trustees to report his own experience of bad practice & behaviour at Head Office.

Have you read our petition update @kellygrellier1 @The_Blue_Cross@chrisburghes? There was no true consultation and the outcome is wrong on every level. A charity formed to respond to crisis is now in crisis itself. This won't go away. #savebluecrosslewnor

@chrisburghes @kellygrellier1 We know @The_Blue_Cross only stays in profit due to investments (ie reserves) but you need to make efficiencies & explore ways to stay afloat through "normal" activities. Reserves are for emergencies. Poor financial stewardship. #savebluecrosslewknor
These are just a few of the many ribbons tied to the gates of @The_Blue_Cross Lewknor's gates by members of the public. Our community is begging @chrisburghes and @kellygrellier1 to do the right thing and #savebluecrosslewknor. We hope you've listened π #animalwelfare
Watch Blue Cross Cambridge volunteer and campaigner on @itvanglia tomorrow. Good luck Cambridge! Oxford & Cambridge Blues together to save @The_Blue_Cross rehoming centres #savebluecrosslewknor
@The_Blue_Cross@BlueCrossPA@chrisburghes @kellygrellier1 Can't you see the irony in sending emails like this while proposing rehoming centre closures? Do you really think you'll find safe foster homes for all the pets that need help? Not in the real world #savebluecrosslewknor
