Tuesday 6th June 2017 - Picnic, First Aid, DWP and Nutrition week

Posted 10:10pm
Another solid few days on the project - and time seems to be passing very quickly.

Yesterday we had week four of the course - and it was all about nutrition.  We talked about our normal daily habits - but then stressed that we need to look after our insides just as much as our outsides. We all have control on what we eat and drink.
We looked at proteins, carbohydrates, sugars and fats - and why we need them in our diets and what they do.
We also introduced several new exercises for our fitness.

This morning we had our free First Aid class, which was very kindly donated by the Red Cross - and we have to thank Grant for delivering a fantastic course.  There were four service users, and the input was fantastic. Everyone was joining in, and I have to say Grant led the discussions and information very well.

We have put our invoice in to the council for the Great Get Together picnic we will be running on June 17th.  I signed the agreement today, and we only have 10 days to get everything ready - but I am sure we can do that.

Tomorrow I will be spending the day at Finsbury Park Job Centre gathering service users for our course starting next Tuesday in Highbury. They will apparently be letting me have a desk, and the chance to talk to signees face to face.
