 GDPR means Security of your Personal Data held by Zacchaeus Project.

Thank you for returning the GDPR forms which allow us to keep your personal information (address and contact details) on file.  If we do not hear from you by 1st October , we are obliged by law not to continue contacting you, and to assume you do not wish to continue as members. You may not use email (regularly or at all!) or you have no mobile phone, or perhaps prefer the landline;  we want you to tell us that, on the form.
 Any box you do not tick stops us using that information. If you have all ways available and can access them, please tick all the boxes.


 Stamp on Scams Awareness Session - 4th September
The Project very much regrets that The East London Business Alliance (ELBA) let us down on this occasion and could not send the promised speaker to lead the session.  This happened without notice and those booked turned up with a wasted journey.  We were unable to organise anything on the spot as a replacement and were all deeply disappointed.
Apologies to all those involved.

HOW'S YOUR FEET?
Due to a huge increase in demand for our podiatry service, we have taken the difficult decision to return to the original intention for the service provided at the Zacchaeus Project.  Consequently, we are now giving our highly-subsidised appointments only to Zacchaeus members who receive one or more of the following Means-Tested Benefits:


  • Council Tax Reduction
  • Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)
  • Housing Benefit
  • Job-Seekers Allowance (JSA)
  • Pension Credit
  • Universal Credit

If you receive one or more of the listed benefits and wish to book a (reduced rate) podiatry appointment, please drop into the Zacchaeus office with your benefit award letter.  For those for whom this does not apply, we are very sorry for the disappointment that this change will cause. You can still book to consult Joan Williams as she runs clinics elsewhere throughout the borough and Sam Arthur works locally on Roman Road.  Their contact details are:

 

Joan Williams

The Project runs as Members Only.  Apply any time; just fill in a form.  There is no charge!  



It is most important to us that membership be open to everyone, that it creates a sense of belonging and it is easy to administer.  Remember to let us know if your contact details have changed, or if you can give us any additional contact details e.g. your email address or mobile number. We are using email and text to communicate Zacchaeus Project updates to our members as much as we can.  We understand if you do not use these media!  

You will understand that the cost of sending out the Newsletter by post is now prohibitive, so we are delivering by email wherever possible   Please collect your copy of the Newsletter from the Centre if you are able.  

  You can follow us on Facebook: Zacchaeus Project @ZacchaeusMCTH
