Hackney
After the frustration of last year,, where we had programmes organised and then, for various reasons, they fell through, it appears we are making progress at the moment - albeit offering for free.
We start two in Hackney in February - one on Tues 19th and one on Thurs 21st. They are in different parts of the borough - the first close to Homerton station, the second near to Newington Green. Both offer exciting opportunities, as it is an older group, and therefore different dynamics. And if we can get these working with good outcomes, then there is the chance to do fee paying courses elsewhere, so we have to impress.
Both will be four sessions, and we will have to adapt for our clientele,, but that is all part of offering a fluid programme. Lazza, Luke and Dean are all going to be delivering these courses, and they are already getting together to ensure they go smoothly. These will be the first Hackney courses.
Haringey
We met with the Haringey Well-being Network before Christmans, and they reacted well to our approach and expressed interest in doing a couple of programmes. We have recontacted and would like to do at least one to finish before the end of March, but are waiting back to chat further and get things organised. This will be the first proper Haringey courses following the disappointment with the communication with Haringey Mind. We are determined to make these work.
Islington
We have two opportunities here.
Firstly, we are speaking with Peabody about doing a free Ajani with their service users as a taster of our delivery, and even offered a half day quick taster to their staff. We are just waiting back to have a good meeting with them on this.
Secondly, we have also approached Better Lives in Grays Inn Rd, and again are waiting back for a meeting. We had a brief chat with them where they expressed interest.
All in all, we are trying our hardest to show that we have a great concept, a unique delivery, and can produce great outcomes.
