———————————————————————————–
Over the coming weeks and months you will begin to see a new image across the diocese. This is because over past year a process of re-branding has been taking place, in order to develop greater visual cohesion between different parts of the work of the Diocese.
The new image was inspired by the statue of The Welcoming Christ at Launde Abbey. The figure speaks of openness, strength, generosity, life and humanity. This is combined with the symbol for the Church of England, which reminds us of resurrection, community, tradition, belonging and inclusivity.
If you click here you will be able to see the new images which will be used by the Diocese, the Cathedral, the Bishop, Launde Abbey and St Martin’s House.
Logos for use on websites, magazines and stationery and professional printers will be available soon on the Diocesan website, so please look out for updates.
We have taken the decision to phase in the use of this logo so as to not be wasteful in our use of resources so, if you currently used the Diocesan Logo on headed paper or notices boards etc, we are very happy to advise about the change as it becomes necessary, such as when paper runs out!
Guidelines for use have been written to ensure the logo is used correctly and the brand image is preserved. These too will be available online soon so please read these carefully when using the new identity.
If you have any questions about anything relating to the new brand please contact either of the Communications team: liz.hudson-oliff@leccofe.org or keith.cousins@leccofe.org

C4’s SECRET MILLIONAIRE SUPPORTS LEICESTER PROJECT GIVING A LIFELINE TO DESTITUTE ASYLUM SEEKERS
A PROJECT that will provide a lifeline to destitute female asylum seekers in Leicester will become a reality, with help from Channel 4’s ‘Secret Millionaire’.
The Fresh Start Project will provide six months of shelter and support to asylum seekers who have not had their cases accepted but have not returned to their countries. The scheme will help the women to find a sustainable solution to their cases and end the cycle of destitution.
The project will be launched in the next few months following a televised donation of £15,000 by Jahan Abedi, a multi-millionaire who made his fortune in property and who is the son of Iranian immigrants.
Fresh Start will be run by Refugee Action, and is receiving extra funding and support from the British Red Cross, the Diocese of Leicester, a Church Urban Fund Mustard Seed grant and the Tudor Trust.
Jahan, (pictured right) was shocked and moved by the plight of those who have been refused sanctuary in the UK but are unable to return home, living destitute on the streets and dependent on food parcels from local charities.
He will be seen making his donation on The Secret Millionaire on Monday 15th March at 9pm.
