Tuesday 3rd December 2019 - Peabody and venues

Posted 5:45pm

Been a busy couple of days, with several meetings and visits. But there is a lot to arrange before Christmas is upon us.  Thankfully things are going well.

We met with Better Lives, in Seven Sisters Road. We want to use their venue to run a three session Ajani with the local Job Centre (Finsbury Park), and in return we would do a day event for their clients. I met with a terrific guy called Barney, who is one of their managers, and he was very open to this. I am emailing over more details tonight.

We also met with the Living Centre and, after a little confusion with an error on our part, we managed to agree to a financial payment for the use of the venue for five events - but we will have to use the facilities on the weekend. They have been wonderful for us, and we are delighted to have them supporting us. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Finally, we spoke with Peabody today. This was in respect of the length of time it took for our invoice of £800 to be paid - which resulted in the two programmes we are delivering from them being changed from 2019 to 2020. The lady was apologetic and we had a very good chat. I cheekily asked about being set up with a manager of peabody dealing with mental health to discuss how we can do more work. I was happily surprised to hear they would be interested in chatting in January, and I am going to send them more details about us.

Tomorrow we are attending en event re the Lottery, and this week will be looking to tie down the other venues for January to March.
