Tuesday 11th May 2021 - Lots of news to share


Posted 12:25pm

One of our amazing users has sadly been transferred from UCH to a hospice in NW3 this week.  It brings home how cruel a disease like Cancer can be.  She was only diagnosed around five weeks ago, and we have been doing our best to support her during the last few weeks.

This has had a knock on effect with the group too, as she would take part in our walks and exercise sessions, and we first came across her when she attended our first ever course four years ago and she has come such a long way.  It's another example of how we must all strive to improve ourselves, stay as healthy as possible, and keep aiming for targets.

Lazza cooked a terrific Dorset Apple Cake last night, for our June health pack recipe pages, and he handed out slices after our Tuesday Highbury Fields exercise session, managed by our wonderful Personal Trainer Dean.  I believe that both he and the cake went down well.

One of our users, Georg, piloted a model boat on "Islington Boating Lake" (the puddle that forms at Highbury Corner opposite Pret A Manger, The White Swan etc.)  We posted the video online and it got hundreds of views.  That led to the Islington Tribune giving us a call and lo and behold Georg featured in a story on Page 3 at the end of last week.  We had a mention too.
