Friday 4th December 2020 - Haringey News and Lazza's cooking

Posted 4:00pm

Once again, HMHB can provide proof that being proactive can bring results.

We were invited to attend a zoom event in November, managed by North London CCG (Care Commissioning Group) in Haringey.  However, it was the day of Lawrence's knee surgery.  He wanted to ask a question around the commissioning of new projects.  How does it happen?  How could we find funding?  Are there processes for new projects.

We did get back an answer, but it did not actually cover our question, so Lawrence re contacted, stressing that we had already done some fine work in the borough, and that we had been asked to do more, but without funding this was not possible.

We then got a great reply back saying they were putting us in contact with the main Mental Health Commissioner in Haringey.  I had a terrific chat online with Pritty Rana, service manager at Haringey WellBeing Network yesterday, and she expressed an interest in us coming in and doing a 12 week course with their users (either one morning or one afternoon every week).  So today I completed a three page document - with the fantastic assistance of my wonderful mentor - detailing who we are, what we do, how much a course would cost, and the outcomes we would be looking to achieve.  I also added in some previous quotes from other courses.  I have sent that off, and hopefully we can get a positive result.


Lazza created a delicious homemade Tiramisu last night for this week's health pack.  This was the first one he has ever made.  I don't think we will be wanting to look at the calories!!!!!!  Absolutely scrummy!!!!!
