It's a whole mix of emotions at the moment. What with proposals going out, and a couple of good meetings, the feeling that the launch is going to happen this autumn is electric.
I have so much to work to do - it's scary - but thrilling - but daunting - but amazing!!!
Today I met with Scott, and went over the Power Point presentation I am completing to show funders and prospective businesses. It's nearly finished, and he had some terrific input on a couple of changes and additions. I will be making those adjustments tomorrow - as well as typing up the crib sheet to go along with the slideshow.
He also had printed off the last two proposals - although I am still looking around for other companies to talk to and see if we can work with them.
So far, we have approached:
Single Homeless Project (SHP) - followed up and they will be calling us in for a meeting
Business In The Community (BITC) - left couple of messages, but will pop in tomorrow.
JobCentre Plus (JCP) - very happy to work with us when we are up and running, as this is part of their rules. But happy to advise us - off the record - aand following our progress.
Family Mosaic Housing Association - it's my HA, but proving very difficult to talk to.
Circle Housing Association - terrific first meeting, expressed solid interest, and follow up meetings to happen
Hyde Group (Housing Association) - email confirmation of interest, but want to see how it works with others first, as not sure they can commit to it at the moment.
Newlon Housing Association - email confirming interest and I need to send them more information, and I am going to ask for a face to face meeting to go over the project.
Peabody Housing Association - proposal has gone out and now need to chase up
ISIS North (Islington Substance Abuse) - proposal has gone out and now need to chase up
Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association - proposal going out tomorrow
Barnsbury Housing Associatiion - proposal going out tomorrow
We are also working on website building, and looking at all Social Media outlets. Finally, I need to work on the exercise booklets, and nutrition booklets, as well as work out how we want to produce the videos for the site. But all go!!!
