Fresh Start Project

Thanks to funding from The London Community Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund we were able to deliver a new project called ‘Fresh Start’ during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Fresh Start project is about improving the physical health and well-being of people with Learning and other Disabilities.

People with Learning Disabilities told us they wanted to be healthier and fitter but found it hard to find accessible information that would help them make changes.

So we worked with volunteer Dan Shoring to enable people with Learning Disabilities to create their own healthy living videos.

Over six months, we all learnt how to use video and sound equipment, write scripts and gain confidence speaking to camera. Everyone loved the experience. We also did on-line and group exercise classes and are working with HCI digital to advise them on how to make their NHSX health videos more inclusive.
