We are back on the lunch hour trail and got a nice pep talk from two welcome visitors in the shape of two police horses today before getting our shift underway.

Today a leafleting task up in Stepney for Trapped in Zone One Ocean Youth Connexions to promote excellent FREE provision for females aged 8-18 in Tower Hamlets. I went to school locally and coached in the area for years. I know locals will appreciate having a local facility supporting the girls.

Trapped in Zone One in partnership with Ocean Youth Connexions are hosting Club Zone One - for Girls Only.

This programme offers FREE after-school provision (adhering to all Covid-19 guidance) for young females aged 8-18, providing fitness and mentoring support to improve the health and wellbeing of young people from Tower Hamlets.

It seems pretty simple but in a locality where female engagement is generally low this was an important task to help raise awareness of the excellent activities on offer for young girls to benefit from in a safe and friendly environment.

This simple task could end up with great results.

Beats a cold sandwich at the desk any day!

This is going to be a difficult winter all round so advance thanks to everyone sacrificing their time to support their neighbourhood.

It was great to have Laura greet us! You are all an inspiring bunch.
