Help Me! Help Me!

Oh deary deary me...

The voluntary sector is generally a good thing - people doing good stuff for not much money.  But I do wish they'd learn to communicate.  By which I mean I wish they'd learn to speak English. 

This is item 1 from a job description for a job currently on offer.  Maybe they've been corrupted by government who frequently can't speak English either...

"to deliver the Yorkshire & Humber element of the national programme under the Health and Care Voluntary Sector Strategic Partner Programme and the Innovation Excellence and Strategic Development programme for the Department of Health and through Regional Voices".
 
Got that everyone?  Yep, a list of aspirational buzzwords made into meaningless names with the word 'deliver' at the beginning.
 
Ironically the poor sod who gets this job has to do a monthly newsletter!  Mind you it'll be written in such a way as to exclude the plebs...Don't know about you but I think people who get public money should be made to attend English classes...
