Diary Diary 25th November 2018 A quiet one today, with just a short shopping trip to get me out of the flat. Otherwise, a day of writing and watching TV. Diary Monday 26th November 2018 With the conflicts at the community centre regarding their lack of respect for my voluntary work there (leading to my withdrawing all future services there) it was great to get back to the university based voluntary work, where helped with social work students and offered a short talk on my cult experiences in the 1980's. The volunteers were given lunch for free for helping out. I was also invited to help out again tomorrow on the campus in Burnley. At home I got two letters from the council. The first told me that I qualify for short term support for my rent. This was confusing as it seems to offer me me the amount required by me monthly, but pays it weekly. It adds that any over-payment (as this would be) must be paid back. The second letter invited me to arrange an interview with the council to sort out just such payments. I e-mailed them to say the payments have already been granted. The council worker handling my case replied alarmingly that she knows this, but wants to see me to arrange to help me move to cheaper accommodation. I now realize that reducing my rent support is aimed at driving me out of my house to save the council money. I wrote back that I have no intention of moving out. They told me that I have every right to that choice. My support wiil run out in April next year. Diary Tuesday 27th November 2018 A cold, and later very wet day as I got a lift to the Burnley campus for a second day of voluntary work and talking on my cult experiences. Thanks to Lisa and Maggie for giving me a lift there and back. I did embarrass myself at one point by leaning against a wall that proved to be a sliding folding partition. I almost fell through it.
