Sitting with a nice coffee, looking out into bright sunshine, and definitely have that Friday feeling. Which is strange in a way, as not actually in a salaried position.  Im still not treating every day as if it is an actual work day - something I must adjust into - there is a target for next week!!

Had a really good look through the Awards For All application form earlier.  I have perused it a couple of times, and made a few notes before, but this was a real thorough focus. I am confident we can put in a good application, and will work hard on that all through the weekend and send it off for others to read next week. I guess, for some reason, I have been putting it off, But once it is sent, we would then get to hear about three/four months later.
We tick all the relevant boxes of what they are wanting to fund - and being able to get that funding would be a real boost - especially as we are still waiting on the CCG.

For that, we went for the real minimum we needed to do it comfortably.  Extra money on top, like the Big Lottery, would not bolster salaries, but instead mean we can build even better foundations.

I have been updating our new "news" blog, which is the one that will be visible through the website. This is a blog covering questions that we feel people would ask. But all features various NHS or University research into those subjects. The blog can contain our own views too alongside.



Finally, we recently purchased some Izzwalkz mugs, just as a thank you to our walkers for sticking with us and helping us build that particular project. I go on every Thursday walk, and I throughly enjoy the laughs and conversation. We are gathering a terrific group of regulars, and we ensure everyone feels welcome. This year we already have three new members. Most thanks have to go to the continuing support of our partners, Highbury Grange Medcial Practice, without whom we would be struggling.  Yay!!
