Dear Mr Goldring

It has been two and a half years since I suffered at the hands of a sociopath, whilst working for your charity. As yet, despite my persistence and that of others, who also endured terrible injustices, you have failed to respond, act reasonably or offer any apologies for the terrible acts of bullying carried out in your name. Today I am writing this open letter, to bring to your attention, once more, the events lat led me to have to give up my life in the UK, restarting and rebuilding my life in Spain, where I now reside.  It is time you recognised your failures in dealing with the spectre of sociopathy in your own ranks and finally admitted what has and continues to transpire within your organisation.

In December 2015, I left the employ of Oxfam, after nine months of discrimination and prejudice brought about by my Manager, her actions, lies, corruption and cover ups. For an equivocal length of time, me and others were subjected to disturbing, dubious and illegal practices, that have no place in the modern world, let alone a charity. Those in charge of dealing with my grievances and those from others in my position, blatantly ignored pleas for help, leaving an embattled, beleaguered work force, unrepresented and overlooked. Others, like me became ill, lost respect and resigned; inaction brought the area I worked in to its knees. I was a dedicated Manager, like so many others who worked for you and the aims you apparently held dear. We worked for very little recompense or reward, but believed in the job we did, trying to alleviate the suffering of those who have no voice, making poverty history. Our own cries went unheard; those in HR and  positions of authority at Oxfam House covered up and protected those who sort to destroy lives for no other reason, than they could.

I was advised to leave the UK, officially and legally and took the advice, giving up a home and country I had lived in all my life, because of what you sanctioned. You made no apologies for your actions and continued to cover up a litany of abuses against myself and my colleagues. It is your great shame that so many employees carry the scares and anxieties of mistreatment; injuries that will take a lifetime to recover from. As a victim, my biggest shock and miscomprehension, was that an employer I trusted did nothing to protect my interests and needs in the workplace; ignoring rules, employment law and guidelines; treating me with contempt, endangering my life!

Today, two and a half years later, I have rebuilt my life, a life taken from me by you. I have had to countenance severe hardships and tolerate your inaction, everyday and will spend each subsequent day fighting for justice; not only for me, but many others who have deteriorated because of you. Every person I meet, I assess  their possible intent and motives; I can not form friendships normally, because of your employees treatment of me; I look over my shoulder, always and constantly have flashbacks over the trauma suffered. My life was cut short at your behest; you now have to own up and take responsibility for your actions.

This letter will keep the fight alive, the memory of  what you did in the hearts of those who agonized and on the conscience of all of you, who perpetrated these acts of brutality. One day you will have to stand up and admit your guilt; until then I will continue to write about a charity, whose credentials are discredited, motives unclear and actions abhorrent. You can silence your own ranks but will not extinguish me; I will always have right on my side, you will not!
