RNID to abandon Deaf campaigns (Official)

From the murky corporate subcontractors at the 3rd Sector. In favour of warning hearing people they will end up like us.....FCUK U RNID ! Today we read the RNID 'restructuring' of its position, is to officially abandon campaigning for the deaf (Campaigns ? where ?), to concentrate on warning hearing they will end up like us, we applaud there honesty on admitting it now, albeit would have preferred they did this when we saw it 11 years ago. Let us test this 'honesty', will they now abandon the 'D' in the title too which has got them £150m in that time, and hand it back to the deaf charities ? NOPE, they aren't that principled ! 4 altered remits in 6 years, each one aimed at driving the deaf out, and not a damned thing you can do about it.

RNID to encourage wine drinking to raise funds.....

THE RNID (Not) have been successful in being shortlisted as one of six charities for the Majestic Wine 2010 Charity of the Year. The winning charity will be selected by a Majestic Wine staff vote, and we need as many votes as possible! If you work for Majestic Wine (or know someone who does, or just likes to quaff the occasional quart of booze), please consider a vote for RNID as the Charity of the Year. Free glass of pinot for your vote !

CHEERS !

RNID fails the FACEBOOK test.

They say even an idiot can make 'friends' on Facebutt, here's a £50m a year charity that couldn't... The most dated charity site on FACEBUTT ?

Latest input dated 31st OCTOBER 2009..

RNID Deaf Awareness Week is coming up soon, 4-10 May! If you would like to get involved take a look at (Web address removed, they have enough hearing members for now...) When WILL they get the message, deaf people do not want to know ?

The RNID Twits do not do much better..

RNID to become Limited Company to Compete in Europe ?

The 3rd sector almost totally non-disabled in nature but running all the support services in the UK, have now lobbied to become 'global' and to be able to represent and offer support in all Europe, in order to access a wider begging base. Does this now mean the RNID will abandon the facade of being a support group to the British deaf and offer 'services' to Europe and speak for them too ? Must we oppose any expansion of the deaf charitable sector outside our own shores ? "The grass may not be greener..", An RNID spokesperson stated, "But the Gravy is definitely thicker there... we stand to make millions..."

RNID do it again !

Deaf people attempting to get details of the RNID's Annual General Meeting online from their own site, were faced today with the above response ! They don't want us there do they ?

RNID in FACEBOOK climbdown.

Timelines:

11 am 6 Oct 2009



12 pm 6 Oct 2009 MM complains direct to the RNID of attempting to wind up deaf people via erroneous use of D.

1pm Oct 6 2009......



A very amateur and childish response from a purported professional charity with a £50m a year turnover...

RNID set for Cultural Takeover...

Proof



that the RNID are set to put in a bid to represent the sign language and cultural deaf community, after years of keeping them out in the cold. Now THEY claim the capital D as their own. Could it be the prospect of the RNID claiming new government funds for their support ? and will it mean the BDA folding in the UK as the RNID screw the opposition ?
