this was an old column from last year
the same writer did a nice column recently about the fund raising.
The blog post says very little, with the conclusion being the
depressing "we're looking into it" which they have been doing for
several years now. My experience of the Community Advocacy team when I
was harassed was negative. The most practical advice was that I could
vanish, rather than expecting anything to change about the harassment.
Much less useful than when I stopped talking to them and went to the
Metropolitan Police and UK Victim Support instead.
I have no idea if they have improved what they do, as what they will
do to help someone being harassed appears to be a secret, along with
the cases where accounts have been globally blocked, allegedly in
relation to harassment.
