H4H - Health and Mental Wellbeing Project

Description:

Hope for Humanity is an organization that has been operating in Newham for the past 2 years. We run a Food Bank every Saturday, where we cater for over 200 to 400 people. In past as well as currently we organize and run HAF Projects for 5-11 years old children during the Summer, Christmas and Easter breaks. Our staff team are highly trained and we have vast experience in running projects. 

Our Aim:

We propose to run a project for 50 women and 50 children. Ages for those women will range from 18 - 50 years old and children from 7-12 years old in Green Street Neighborhood. The project will run for two days per week, 5 hours daily, and will target the mental health, the safety and well-being of these groups of people. 

Why this Project: 

The rising crime rate in the Borough and the lasting effects of Covid 19 have driven women and children into isolation, and has affected their mental health and their well-being. In addition, 'fear, ' has been a core factor in all of this, making women and children afraid to go out freely in their community. 

Who will be involved: 

We will work in consultation with our sponsors, the police, a Nutritionist, the environmental Department, a well known self-defense trainer and our local council, to achieve the desired goals. 

What we do? (Methodology)

To compact this we will arrange for the women and children to get fit, improve their health and keep their their community clean. We will be working from the 'one stop approach concept, 'where we will tackle all the named priorities together'. 

How will we do it? 

Each day will be broken up into sessions, where we will provide trainings. on health, on safety and on self protection. We will also provide training of how to keep their community clean, whilst incorporating some practical scenarios. Lastly and certainly not least, we will arrange a weekly robust walk in PRIORY PARK , and finish up with women and children planting vegetables and herbs in the green spaces provided. 

Conclusion: 

This project will be carried forward into the future. With determination we will ensure that we tap into other resources to ensure that all women and children in Green Street Neighborhood  have the opportunity to be involved, to be healthy, safe, happy and to live fulfilled lives in their community.
