Wow! Has it really been nine days since my last entry - time flies - and we are certainly not sitting back. A lot has been going on.
We had a really successful fitness class last Saturday. There were two course attendees - but this is something that will grow and grow. Dean led us in some fitness exercises and high intensity moves, and then we played a bit of football. It was not just about exercise though. It was also an opportunity to socialise and get people up and about, and being active. It went down well.
On Monday we had a good program - it was about taking action and responsibility.. Even in the darkest days, we need to find a way to push ourselves, even if we feel we cant do things. Action builds confidence and energy. We had a couple of games, and then we also did some more stretching exercises. Next week we are going to do a little boxing - which I think the guys will really enjoy..
Tomorrow I am attending an event being run by Voluntary Action Islington - where they bring funders to present to a group. Its the Big Lottery Fund, and another company called Cloudsley. It will be interesting what they say about how we apply. Luke is in charge of the walking group tomorrow, and I hope thhe ladies dont destroy him too much!!! It will be the first Thursday walk I would have missed since we started last November.
We are preparing costs for SHP for running another course or two. We want to be realistic, but also not short change ourselves. I am going to lose around a a third of my benefit money soon,, and that will have a knock on effect on our delivery. I also have responsiibilty towards Luke and Dean, and Kacper too, to get money for the project.
I am looking forward to adjusting a lot of our social media soon - including website. My guru, Kacper, has been doing exams so I did not want to interrupt that - but now he is free for the summer. Once he is back from holiday we will improve Website, Instagram, Facebook - and look at other avenues. We also need to push our GoFundMe page - which has had no hits as yet.
