Yes, I admit I have been a bit lax on the social media front - especially this blog. But that is not because we have been sitting back. In fact, we are so so close to maybe finally getting our big break.
We had a massive meeting last week with the Islington CCG, who it appears are looking to "potentially seed fund HMHB" for a year. We have to provide certain paperwork - including full details of programs, as well as funding spreadsheets. A report will then be put together by the CCG representative to go to their board. It is very exciting. We know what we need, and what we feel we can achieve.
Not only that, we have also approached the Islington Giving Fund managed by Cripplegate to run an Ajani program with Highbury Grange Medical Centre - which would be very exciting. This would aim to start towards the end of March, and would be a precursor to the work with the CCG. Again, this is very much at planning stages, but is very exciting too.
We also are meeting with SHP at the start of next week to discuss a further Ajani program with them, that we would be looking to start around the same time as the one with HGMP. It would prove we could manage multiple programs at the same time. We enjoy our relationship with SHP, and feel this enhances the work they do.
Finally, re Ajani, we are also talking with a community centre in Crouch Hill. They are keen for us to do a program, and we would like to apply to the Gunners Fund to pay for that one. We are arranging meetings as soon as possible.;
We also met with a representative from Islington Council, alongside Public Health, last week. They want to see if they can improve physical activity within the Council Estates in Islington. We discussed the possibility of expanding the Izzwalkz from one walk to five, as well as getting a Personal Trainer into the estates. This is a wonderful opportunity.
So we are moving forward on many fronts. An exciting time - but still we need to know we can get salaries for at least a year. Yay!!
