NICKY FOX, PROJECT MANAGER
KATRIONA DOVE, LIFESTYLE MOTIVATOR
A message from Nicky
"I started the Stepping Out Project with Community Eductation in
1995. The project was underthe auspices of East Lothian Council for several years which was mostly a happy arrangement.
The difficulty was that our options to fundraie outwith the council was very limited.
Then 4 years agao we began the
process of seperation and became a voluntary organisation with charitable status. This has given us freedom to access other
funds.
We have been successful in tapping in funds which has helped us develop innovative and exciting new
projects.
Responding to what people are asking for is something we are particularly good
at. Our healthy lifestyle activities are a good example of this approach working at its best.
I believe
that now is the most positive, exciting and hopeful time in mental health work since I started. I want to continue to
make Stepping Out a resource that East Lothian can be proud of.
Katriona has been is invaluable
in the development of the project and activities including:
lunch club
yoga
walking groups
John Muir Award
scheme
1 to 1 work
Working together means that we are now able to have coffee mornings
and other fund raising events. Good fun for everyone and alos helping to raise our local profile.
We
are most grateful to Continuing Eductaion and East Lothian Council for assisting with the funding of Katriona's
post."
