One of the many things we are trying to do is expand the opportunities for people to be more active, with a chance to work with a personal trainer (our fitness sessions), and interact with others (lour walks initiative).

These are naturally organised. It is overseen by us, which is really important. People know the event is running and is official. But also we need to make sure we are represented. Up to now, Lazza has been too most events - but it is inevitable that there will be meetings or work that stops that from happening. Fortunately, there are people to call on - Luke's brother Oliver, for example, is in charge of the Clissold Park walk tomorrow as Lazza has to print off Corporate letters for funding.

We met today with a lovely lady called Suma. On the 14th May we are launching a new weekly Izzwalkz Health Walk (highbury fields) - and need a volunteer to be there each week, and we met Suma through the Volunteer Islington scheme, managed by Voluntary Action Islington. Although LOazza will attend as many as possible it was important to find someone local, and we are delighted to  have Suma along. A new HMHB member.

We have recontacted Peabody, to try and work with them on Estates in Islington, using lottery bid money, if successful. More news to follow.
