Tuesday 22nd May 2018 - lottery: program content: fitness equipment

Posted 5:00pm
Loving this weather. And looking forward to going to see Deadpool 2 this evening in Stratford. Getting out of the flat, enjoying the fresh air, collecting all the lovely Vitamin D from the glorious sunshine, it all lifts the spirits. Builds energy.

We have been  in touch with the North London Coordinator for the Lottery, We will me meeting her at an event organised by Voluntary Action Islington towards the end of June. However, we have taken the opportunity to invite her along to one of our programs we are running so she can see for herself what we are doing, how we do it, and hopefully get positive feedback from our users.

I have also been very busy ironing out the final content for the upcoming Ajanis. We like to do things a little different, which makes us unique and stand out from the crowd. In regards to health, instead of us telling people about the benefits of cleaning their teeth, we have organised someone from the Oral Health team to come and give a a presentation (we did that on both our previous courses and it went down very well). We do something similar in regards to smoking. Someone from Solutions4Health comes and presents on the benefits of stopping smoking (it does not matter if the users actually smoke as it is a good lesson anyway). We are excited to be working with them again.

Finally, we have increased our items of fitness equipment. After ordering them over six weeks ago, and having to reorder on Amazon after a non-arrival, we finally have a total of six boxing pads to go alongside our six pairs of gloves. At least this means we can have at least 12 people on our courses who can all work together. It will be fun using them on our Izzwalkz too.  All we are waiting for now are the 12 exercise mats to come - again, we have had problems, but hopefully by the end of May.
