HelP me aUnTIe annIe, I...want to BE hEaLthy!

“I know you’re supposed to be more healthy, eat your 5 a day, not smoke, not eat too much junk food, and excercise at least 30 mins a day or something like that. It’s all well and good knowing it, but now I know, I just can’t seem to get the drive to excercise or the will to make the food changes. I don’t want to suffer from health problems when I’m older, or set a bad example for the kids...it’s just hard when I’ve got into habits that are hard to break. But I feel frumpy and lazy and I want to change.”

well done on recognising the need to change, that’s often the hardest thing.sometimes making changes to our lives is daunting and very challenging. Being healthy is a lot easier if you know that there is plenty of support available. For help with acheiveing your health and fitness goals, support to stop smoking and more contact: Shaun Hawkins, community health Trainer at the Walk-in Centre, Knowle West Health Park or E: [email protected]. there are also loads of fun ways to be active, and get support with the Fit and Fab group (Debbie’s Dates pg12).

At the end of October KWMC had 20 Europeans visiting from Germany, romania and hungary to work on a shared mapping project. the highlight of the trip was when locals, Jan, Becky, slyvie, michelle, mil, Lesley and nandia got to explore the area with the visitors. we used different media tools and documented Knowle west. all the content gathered was uploaded to the Kw Green map, a community resource that was originally put together by local people. The visitors also enjoyed film screenings with workshops from local environmental campaigners.

The project is called the 4 B Hives as each cities’ name starts with B and the idea is we all work as a colony. so the visit wouldn’t have been complete without a trip to see some bee hives! Lawrence western Community Farm very kindly hosted a visit for us, giving us a taster bee keeping session with honey treats to boot!

on halloween, KwmC welcomed people to experience the foods and flavours of the autumn season at the Knowle west harvest Food Fest.outside, the hand-made clay oven warmed jacket potatoes and the old-fashioned press churned out tangy apple juice. mil dug up the potatoes planted during the summer food fest and pumpkin soup made by heather and co went down a treat! rachel put unrecyclable materials to good use by transforming them into ghoulish masks and halloween models. there was also a ‘diary pod’, where people recorded their hopes and predictions for the next 25 years.

these kebabs went down well at the Knowle west Food Fest in october and would make a nice healthy dessert.

to make the kebabs - use a mixture of fruit (grapes, tinned pineapple cubes, melon, strawberries, apple, banana, tangerine segments, pear etc.) and thread onto wooden skewers.

To make the dip - mix together, 500g low fat vanilla yoghurt, 75ml honey, the rind of one lemon and a tablespoon each of lemon and lime juice.

Call Kate roberts T: 07795 052226 if you have ideas on how to improve the health of your community or would like to suggest a healthy recipe for the newsletter.

don’t leave doors and windows open or unlocked at night or when you are out of the house. many burglars are opportunists and thrive on people being careless.

maKE sure your house looks like it is occupied when you go out. Install timers on lights, radios and tvs.

KEEP valuable possessions out of sight and draw curtains if you are out for a long time.

don’t put out packaging from expensive items like computers for recycling until collection day.

aLways keep an eye out for anything suspicious. working together with neighbours can be a strong defence against crime.

LoCK garden sheds and keep power tools secure and out of sight.

rEGIstEr valuable items on immobilse.com It makes it easier for police to return it.

For more advice about reducing opportunities for burglary call 0845 456 7000 and ask to speak to the crime reduction unit.

I went to Colston hall on Saturday 19 September with a group from Knowle west media Centre to see the re-opening events: the new Generation takeover. I went inside the new foyer and was shocked by the size and beauty of the space.

whilst I was there I asked many questions to performing artists, staff and members of the public. some of our group were filming, some asked questions and others took photographs of the building to document the day.

I enjoyed it all. also I want to do more of it. I’d never done anything like that before. I learnt how to film an interview. I was quite shy but I got used to it, plus I felt confident after I’d done it for a few hours. People were really polite and I said ‘thank you’ after I’d spoken to each person.

Knowle west Children’s Centre provides childcare for children aged from 3months – 4 years and is open Monday to Friday 8am until 6pm.

we welcome robin taylor who is the new learning co-ordinator and will be leading learning experiences planned for families and children across the centre.

the newly revamped Early years 2 space is proving a great success and this is shown in the way that the children happily spend their time playing, exploring and interacting with each other. the space has also proved popular with the under twos who enjoy spending time with their older peers at circle times and meal times.

In Early years 3 the children are now settled after joining the centre in september and during the autumn term have been imagining a world full of magic and elves…and rockets!

there are plans for visits to Leigh woods to see autumn in full colour, and mrs morris has worked with parents and carers planting bulbs in our own garden ready to bloom next spring.

there is lots more going on so if you would like any more information on the services we offer or would like to come and look around please telephone us on T: 0117 903 0214 or pop in we will be happy to talk you.th
