Well, we have not posted in the blog for a while. This has been down to illness, Christmas, and the New Year.
Firstly, a Happy New Year to anyone who reads out blog. Welcome too. Hopefully some new people, as I will be pushing this on social media.
We had an amazing year in 2017. After years of planning, development, research and a lot of hard work, we finally ran a couple of our Ajani programs, with incredible feedback and success. All of this without funding - we did get a nominal fee for the second program at a big discount after running a free pilot earlier in the year.
Ajani is a program around mindset, health, exercise/fitness, nutrition and routine, but in a new unique interactive and fun delivery. It can help people out of work, as well as those in employment. We particularly like to aim at people going through issues or stress - as we promoting a growth mindset and building confidence.
We also launched our walking program we want to expand. Our first one in Islington - called Izzwalkz - currently has one weekly health walk, and has run for over a year with terrific success in partnership with a local Health Practice, who have been magnificent in their enthusiasm and promotion. I want to have at least 5 weekly walks throughout the borough, and in other boroughs too.
To be honest, it all comes down to funding - and as we are new boys in the business that makes it very difficult as, naturally, everyone asks for outcomes. It should be said there is countless research linking mental health and physical health with confidence and happiness, from NHS to Universities, but we feel we already can show the benefits.
We have several social media - please can people who read this do the following for us:
Like and follow us on Facebook - www.facebook.com/healthymindshealthybods
Follow us on Twitter - @hmhb2016
Follow our blog - www.hmhbinfo.blogspot.com
Keep an eye on our website - www.hmhb2016.org.uk (we updating this coming weekend)
But most importantly - we really need funding; We are hoping the Islington CCG will come through for us, but also applying for grants etc. But we could do with a company sponsoring us - even in the short term just so we can prove our outcomes with further programs.
We have a gofundme page. Can everyone who sees this page please share the page with friends and others on social media for us - facebook, twitter, etc. We would be very grateful. It is:

Thanks everyone - we will post daily now on this blog, as well as our info blog. And we look forward to you being with us in this very exciting year ahead.
YAY!!!!!
