It's another Bank Holiday, and before I rush off to catch the new Solo, Star Wars film, I find it is an incredible six days from my previous entry - where do these days go? Time is rushing by.
But, once again, lots and lots is happening with HMHB. In particular, we launch our third ever Ajani programme with Highbury Grange Health Centre this Wednesday. From last May we did 2 programmes in 52 weeks. In the next thirteen weeks we should complete six.
Really excited by this one, and keeping everything crossed we get a decent number to justify the funding we received from Cripplegate Islington Giving. That's the only thing I am nervous about as we do not have that control. The programme itself is exciting. We have the seven sessions, three free gym studio visits, three day trips, six walks, six PT fitness sessions, a talk from the stop smoking team, a talk from the oral health team - wow!!! We are thankful for all the support we are getting.
We also have the SHP one just about sorted too - but as only over 16 days we have one trip, and one gym studio visit. But still all the other perks - and we looking ata different outcome dynamic.
We have proposed a walking programme to the council - who indicated they wanted to see that progress and that there could be money for that. We have said that at the end of a year we would like to have at least five weekly health walks running in Islington - overseen and managed by us. We can wait and see if they are still interested. It would mean a new Izzwalkz website, plus marketing for all the walks, as well as running costs.
However, we are going to continue with our estates idea with the lottery too. With council and CCG backing. Lots to get on with.
