SUMMARY:Resident Steering Group meeting 17 April 2023
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed meeting for those who have applied to be part of the ‘residents steering group’ (RSG). \nIt is mandatory to have attended the steering group training provided by Source Partnership. \nThe steering group comprises of residents from both the old and new blocks and provides resident input into the next stage of new build and refurbishment of Kings Crescent. \nFor further information on joining the ‘Resident Steering Group’ please email john@sourcepartnership.com or carol@sourcepartnership.com \nKey Summary Points:\n* Mulalley have been appointed as Hackney’s building contractor\n* Plan: 1 year of design review for cost optimisation then 1 year for design approval process and ‘Building Safety Act’ compliance (new regulation). So work due to commence in 2 years\n* Part of the Play Street will be out of action for approx 2 years once the work starts at the Green Lanes end of the site\n* There will be opportunities for residents to be consulted and meet the contractors during this coming year of design review\n* Hackney Regeneration Team will be sending out a newsletter to all residents in June to provide an overview of the process and programme with Mulalley\n* Source Partnership will be resuming a drop-in service from June onwards to answer resident questions \n\n  \nNotes of Kings Crescent Steering Group Meeting held on 17th April  2023 \n  \n\n\n\nThose Present:\nCllr Clare Potter (CP) (Chair) \nCllr Soreya Adejare  (SA) \n8 Residents: \nEP\, JWM\, EV\, PS\, PA\, PD\, KM\, AF\n\n\n\nIn Attendance:\nRon Greenwood (RG) \nChey Brown \nCarol Squires (CS) \nMenekse Saitoglu \nJohn Morris (minutes) \nLee Walsh (LW)\n  \nLB Hackney \nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nMulalley \n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n  \n1.1\n  \nApologies were received from resident KH\n  \n  \n \n\n\n2.0\nNotes of previous meeting held 13th October 2022  and any Matters Arising not elsewhere on the agenda\n \n\n\n  \n2.1\n  \nThe minutes were agreed as a true record \n \n  \n \n\n\n3.0\nIntroduction to Mulalley and the Kings Crescent project – Lee Walsh \, Contracts Manager \n \n\n\n  \n3.1\n  \nLee gave a presentation\, (slides below) followed by questions. \n  \nCP asked for the slides to be circulated. \n  \nPA – can data from previous site surveys be used by Mulalley to reduce the work involved? \nLW – these will be used to provide a basic understanding but Mullalley will need to explore in much greater detail\, e.g. soil surveys will be taken at 5m intervals. \n  \nCP – will the extended period for redesign etc. mean that investigations will be more thorough\, so chance of issues arising later is minimised? \nLW – no\, the delays at this stage won’t mean the surveys will be any more thorough; they will be thorough anyway but it means that due diligence can be completed earlier\, making good use of the extended period of redesign\, sign off etc. \n  \nSA – can we be assured that the length of time at this stage will not have a detrimental impact on leaseholders? \nRG – leaseholders will benefit from cost optimisation but it is important that the principle of design parity between new build and refurb is maintained. Cost optimisation is a way to balance quality and cost. \nLW – no one can predict market forces but there are signs that costs are starting to plateau. The pressures on the building industry have been unprecedented following Brexit\, the pandemic and the Ukraine war (an example of the latter was a 500% increase in the cost of concrete and steel in 3 months). RG added that estimates of build cost inflation had been factored into the approval of the scheme. \n  \nSA – what does ‘added value’ mean to Mulalley? \nLW – it differs between projects and depends on what communities’ priorities are. It could be funding existing projects\, business development mentoring\, local school equipment donations\, work in schools on career options and job-readiness. \n  \nKM – the plan to use the section of Murrain Road at the Green Lanes end is a real concern as Hackney Showroom and the street immediately outside have become a valuable focus for community activity. It is a ‘people street.’ How can you help limit the impact? JWM added that taking away the play area and the other site logistics mean that there will be little space for young people to play\, gather etc. \nLW – unfortunately\, the only way to get construction vehicles on and off site is from Green Lanes; there are height and width restrictions that prevent other means of access. \nJWM – can’t the currently vacant area adjacent to Green Lanes not be used as it was for phase 1&2? \nLW – we will be building on that. The plan is that the new build blocks will be constructed all at the same time; a phased programme for this part of the development will prolong the build period by years. \n  \nEV – will the refurbishment take place in parallel with the new build? \nLW – there is some flexibility in when and how long the refurbishment takes. If it is done at pace\, it will obviously be completed sooner but there will be more disruption. If the community want to see less disruption\, then the programme for the refurb. could be lengthened. \n  \nCP asked how long the half of the play street nearest Green Lanes will be out of action. \nLW – maybe 2 years? \nRG added that there will be photographic and video evidence stored of the play street in its current form so it can be reinstated exactly as before. Items on the play street that need to be moved will be stored or re-located. This includes the trees. It was noted that pedestrian access along Murrain Road to Green Lanes will still exist. \nEV – it will be important to maintain easy pedestrian access across the estate\, so the north and south sides are not completely separated. Does this mean the ball court will go? \nLW – yes. \nRG – we aim to try to find solutions to some of these issues with residents through workshops etc. \nCP – it will be important that the estate continues to be brought together through the social value part of Mulalley’s contract. \nLW also noted that a lot of space on the estate will be taken up by storage of materials (illustrated by black cross-hatched areas on the site plan). \n  \nCS – could meanwhile uses be considered for e.g. storage facilities when not in use? Also what are residents’ views on the proposed respite facilities? \nThere was discussion about the respite provision\, noted that it wasn’t well used in phase 1&2. Can it be used for more social/community/play activities? LW – this is all up for further discussion and community will have the opportunity to reshape provision in dialogue with Mulalley. \n  \nCS noted that there is only one lift serving Weston Court – at the Datchworth Court junction. If the access to Green Lanes at the north end of the block is closed off\, it will be a long walk for residents to access the lift. \nLW – would be open to keeping the access available at the other end of Weston Court. \n  \nCP – phase 1&2 had major problems with lifts and the energy centre working efficiently. If better aftercare can be assured for installations in this phase\, perhaps by sourcing from UK\, more expensive manufacturers\, this might be worth it to save costs after completion. \nLW – the cost optimisation process is being done in collaboration with the client; ultimately\, these sort of costs are not Mulalley’s decision. Note that the cost optimisation exercise isn’t a way for Mulalley to make savings and maximise profit; it’s about getting best value. \nRG – there is a new\, borough-wide spec for lifts that will be used and there will be an enhanced M&E clerk of works inspection process. \nLW – Mulalley will employ its own lift consultants who will have an input into design\, will lead on market testing of suppliers and will carry out an inspection function pre-handover\, at snagging before the lifts are put into operation. \nCP -what about the energy centre? \nLW – Mechanical & Electrical contractors will be managed separate M&E managing agents\, who are consultants\, not Mulalley\, therefore there is independent scrutiny of this aspect of the contract. \n  \nPA asked when the Weston Court podium will be coming down. \nLW – we will look to progress this as early as possible. However\, it will be a process of deconstruction rather than demolition in order to minimise noise\, dust etc. \n  \nAF asked about access to Weston Court for deliveries. \nLW confirmed that access will be maintained. \n  \nEP sought confirmation of the timeline; 90 to 100 weeks before start on site? \nLW – yes\, it will be that long. An early start to the refurb. was considered but compliance with the new Building Safety Act is needed for all aspects of the contract before any work can start. Planning consultation and the impact of the BS Act are 2 key factors that will affect the timeline that are out of Mulalley’s control. \nCP noted that another 2 year’s wait is hard to hear for residents but commended Ron on providing consistency throughout the process leading up to this point. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n4.0\nFuture resident engagement – Source  \n \n\n\n  \n4.1\n  \nCS noted that Source have now vacated the VM Community Centre but we want to agree a programme of activities to maintain momentum with resident engagement. We propose monthly drop ins at Hackney Showroom to provide information and seek views on e.g. meanwhile uses and other issues that residents can help to influence. Noted that information needs to be disseminated widely across homes; the 8 households represented at this meeting cannot be expected to be the conduit for spreading all info. \nRG – there is a newsletter due to go out. \nCS – if there are design and other significant changes\, these should be communicated as we go along. This could include introduction of meanwhile uses to soften the blow of losing part of the playstreet. \nRG agreed and highlighted the importance of resident input into design of the public realm. \nCS – we could use the logistics plan to generate residents’ views at drop ins. We could start drop ins this month. \nJWM suggested speaking and visiting the Elders Lunch Club. \n  \nRG also noted ongoing discussions about site visits. Mulalley sites in Bethnal Green\, Parkview (Highbury New Park) and the now completed Bridge House still possibilities. \n  \nCP – are there any other communities we are not reaching? \nEP – non-resident leaseholders? \nSA – are translated written materials needed? \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n5.0\nTRA update \n \n\n\n  \n5.1\n  \nEP reported back: \n· A newsletter was produced in Nov 2022. \n· The winter market\, where the TRA had a stall was a success. \n· The recent Community Meeting which was less formal engaged more people. \n· Youth Club going well. \n· Gardening also going well. \n· Upcoming events: \no  7/5  –  a coronation event\, with LBH funding will be held at the VMCC \no  13/5 –  a gardening event \no  14/6 – next Community Meeting \no  20/9 – TRA AGM at which Emley will stand down as Chair \nETRA meetings have stopped in their previous format. LBH/resident liaison will be organised differently. \n \n \n\n\n6.0\nAny other business  \n \n\n\n  \n6.1\n  \nSA wished to record thanks to Emley for her participation in the Council’s scrutiny review of regeneration. \n \n  \n \n\n\n7.0 \nDate of next meeting \n \n\n\n  \n7.1\n  \nCP proposed quarterly meetings would be appropriate\, so the next RSG would be early July. However\, it was agreed to wait until the new year’s municipal calendar has been published to confirm a date when CP and SA can attend. \n  \nCS – there needs to be something to say to make the meetings worthwhile. \nRG – next meeting could include discussions about preparing for the cost optimisation exercise. \nCS – once people have had a look at the slides from tonight’s presentation\, there should be more questions. \nLW – Mulalley can commit to attending all future RSGs\, even if LW himself does not attend; it may be more relevant for specialists within the company to attend to deal with specific issues with RSG  meetings focusing on one or two themes at future meetings. \n  \n \n \n\n\n\n  \nThe meeting ended at 8.45 pm \n  \nSlides from Mulalley presentation:\n \n \n \n \n   \n  \n  \n  \n \n \n   \n

SUMMARY:Hackney Update Meeting (postponed ETRA)
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is an opportunity for residents to meet with Hackney to discuss estate matters. \nThis is a replacement for the postponed October ETRA meeting (agenda and background information shown further down page). \nNotes from the meeting:\nKings Crescent ETRA Meeting 1.12.2022\n  \nHackney officers and Kings Crescent Residents \nChaired by Alice Hutchinson \n  \nMinutes \n  \n\nUpdate on progress – Steve Waddington (SW).\n\n  \nDrains – work on 4 buildings to resolve with 1 remaining. SW been emailed that still a problem at Bramfield\, as well as Datchworth. SW will investigate \n  \nContact Centre – The ICT system still does not have full information\, so when they get a call agents have to look in other documents. But they do have the information if they look. Agents been advised of the importance of getting the right information. \n  \nFire Safety  – letters have gone out to all relevant buildings about consultants findings and EWS1 \n  \nComplaints Process \nTimely responses have been a problem\, SW looking at that as not hitting timeframe. Just under 20 days at the moment. \n  \n\nService Charges Judith Morrison\n\n  \nTeam took more time send out Statement of Actual Service Charges as wanted to make rigorous additional checks. On the whole charges lower. One block has increased because of additional repairs. JM happy to assist if there are any questions – there are more generous payment options in light of the Cost of Living challenges. . \nQuestion raised about increases at Wallington Court. Resident advised to email JM. There have been increases in energy costs. Hackney will look at any other issues if they arise. \n  \nQuestions raised about solar panels – are there any and how are they used. There are solar panels and Hackney will respond. The response can be included in the meeting notes. JM to respond \n  \n\nFire Safety – Claire Williams\n\nAll flats have been rated B1 using the new fire safety assessment (replacement for EWS1). Hackney took a different approach with the assessment using 9980 not the RICS EWS1. The 9980 is a more extensive & holisitic assessment – the decision is based not just on the external walls & materials used but other factors to take a holisitic view of fire safety. The people who have requested certificates or already paid to receive a previous EWS1 assessment certificate (B2) would receive them by 5.12.22. They will be hand delivered. One resident asked for a postal delivery. Agreed to. \n  \nOne lender didn’t like the electronic date stamp so the letter of resilience certificate is being retyped with physical date. \n  \nIf someone needs one they can apply to the Property Sales Team. Information on the website https://hackney.gov.uk/request-ews-form There is a charge for an EWS1\, but not if the result is B2. \n  \nQuestion asked if there is a renewal plan for EWS1. SW said no plans to do that – hope to move away from EWS1. They did just do the assessment and they are very expensive. Lenders still want EWS1 at the moment so will have to make a decision in the future. SW not aware of any need to EWS1 every 5 years\, as there will be no change to the structure\, therefore no need to risk assess. We don’t know if lenders will continue to only accept EWS1. Work going on nationally about EWs1 or 9980. SW could not give assurance that Hackney would do further assessments. It’s not a requirement on the Council but Hackney did do one at this point. Hackney will do all they can but not automatically do EWS1. AH thanked Hackney for all the work they have done to get the assessments done. \n  \n\nLifts – SW\n\nThe problem with the lifts has been caused by high temperatures and combination of issues. The lift engineer has proposed works to lift due to takes place in December/January with confirmed dates for the corrective action for all blocks. (Kimpton is 5.01.23) The costs will not be passed to leaseholders. \n  \nQuestion about time it has taken since problem first identified in 2018. SW acknowledged that the response was not good enough\, but there are no records due to staff changes and cyber attack. SW hopes the lift problem will be fixed by the proposed works. \n  \n\nHot water and reporting problems SW\n\nIssue raised the call centre agents don’t realise it’s a centralised system as they need to cross reference to find information. This has meant residents have been given incorrect information (eg. Told to contact Thames Water or that it is the resident’s responsibility to find a solution) and on other occasions\, been told that it will take several days for a resolution to the issue. \nAdvise to residents is to tell the agent it’s a communal hot water system. Get put through as an emergency\, not routine. There is a 24hr call out time for emergencies. At any time. Call centre response for emergencies is 4 minutes. Times have been reduced recently. \nWhen reporting the issues\,  residents should also use the postcode\, which is better for operatives to identify the right block compared to the individual address. \n  \nA resident (SH)  commented that if the hot water is off a few times a year it needs looking at – as not expected in a new building. SW to look into it. There will be a record of breakdowns\, and SW will share what they find. \n  \nHackney has aspiration to have communications system that would text everyone in a block if there is a problem. Hackney is reviewing at the moment whether to build their own platform or buy integrated system. That will determine timelines. The lack of a system like this is holding Hackney back. \n  \n\nComplaints: Jahedur Rahamn\n\nJ showed a presentation about Housing Transformation Complaints \nThe Housing Ombudsman Service has a new Complaint Handling Code from September 2020. \nHackney recognises the importance of consistency and looks at how to improve. \nHousing management looks at complaints and identifies targeted action. \nComplaints are best raised through the website – not email. Email system didn’t work as they didn’t always get picked up. \nDifference between service requests and service failure – If a service failure then Stage 1 of process. \nThe process is that \n\ntry to resolve – 5 days\nResponse – 10 days\nSecond Stage 15 days – to Ombudsmen Service\n\n  \nSW reported that Hackney in the process of implementing online repairs service reporting system. \nMeanwhile Anthony anthony.ramsay@hackney.gov.uk can be contacted if having difficulties reporting repairs/raising issues and he can pass on issues\, or at weekly surgery on the estate on Wednesdays. \n  \n\nAOB\n\nBroken lights on South side. There has been no response on Theobalds Court. North side issues seen on 1.12 but different issues on south side. Cllr Potter has photo and will send to SW. SW and AR to pick up. \n  \nCllr Potter raised the issue of the proposed boundary change to Brownswood and encouraged residents to consider if they wanted to provide feedback – deadline for responses was in first half of December. . \n………………………………………………………………………………….. \nPrevious information: \nPlease see the message below from Alice\, the Residents Association Treasurer\, for details of the meeting.

SUMMARY:Resident Steering Group Meeting 13 Oct
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed meeting for those who have applied to be part of the ‘residents steering group’ (RSG). \nIt is mandatory to have attended the steering group training provided by Source Partnership. \nThe steering group comprises of residents from both the old and new blocks and provides resident input into the next stage of new build and refurbishment of Kings Crescent. \nFor further information on joining the ‘Resident Steering Group’ please email john@sourcepartnership.com or carol@sourcepartnership.com \n\n  \nNotes of Kings Crescent Steering Group Meeting held on 13th October  2022  \n  \n  \n\n\n\nThose Present:\nCllr Clare Potter (CP) (Chair) \n7 Residents: \nEP\, JWM\, KH\, PS\, PA\, ES\, PD\n  \n \n\n\nIn Attendance:\nRon Greenwood (RG) \nCarol Squires (CS) \nMenekse Saitoglu \nJohn Morris (minutes) \nBrian Bell\nLB Hackney \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nSource Partnership (ITLA) \nGuest \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.0\nIntroductions and apologies \nAction\n\n\n  \n1.1\n  \nApologies were received from residents KM\, NJ\, & AF and Cllr Soreya Adejare\n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n2.0\nNotes of previous meeting held 21st July 2022  and any Matters Arising not elsewhere on the agenda\n \n\n\n  \n2.1\n  \nThe minutes were agreed as a true record\n  \n \n\n\n3.0\nPhase 3&4 update  \n \n\n\n  \n3.1\nRG confirmed the successful contractor is Mulalley. LBH hope to sign a contract with them in December or January. CP noted that no communication has gone out to residents formally announcing this and it would be prudent to wait until the contract is signed. However\, RSG members are under no obligation to keep this confidential. \n  \nRG explained the actions over the next year. These include ensuring the development is compliant with new building regulations coming into force next June; these cover provision of ventilation\, energy\, electric charging points for vehicles and fire safety. There is also the need to get any blocks over 18m high signed off by the new Building Safety Regulator which takes 12 weeks. During 2023\, there will also be a value engineering exercise carried out to try to achieve approx. 10% savings. LBH will explore with Mulalley the possibility of starting the refurbishment works while awaiting the Building Safety Regulator sign off. \n  \nKH asked if the designs were based on the old building regs. \nRG – yes\, but now there is a definite implementation date for the new regulations\, LBH cannot now avoid the requirement to redesign in order to comply with them. \n  \nES suggested that the benefits of 10% savings could be wiped out by inflation. \nRG acknowledged this but LBH are committed to achieving savings in e.g. sub and superstructure of the new buildings\, looking at off site construction\, possibly standardising some components such as windows. ES noted that off site construction can create a higher quality product. CP added that there have been constant reassurances that quality will not be compromised. \n  \nPA asked if changing the use of the proposed workspaces under Weston Court had been considered. RG explained LBH doubts that creating residential units here might not provide sufficiently high quality accommodation and floor to ceiling heights could be an issue. PA noted that the phase 1 garage conversions had worked well. CP’s understanding is that if the commercial units do not work out\, there is the option to convert them to residential. It was agreed that it would be worth exploring a residential use as an option. \n  \nKH asked about phasing; will the new build be linked to the refurbishment? \nRG replied that as they are signing one contract\, the two will be linked and Mulalley have said they will try to stick with the proposed programme of starting at Bramfield Court and working round the south side blocks from there. \n  \nKH asked about viability in terms of achieving good sales value when marketing flats. RG replied that the time it will take to complete new homes for sale will probably extend beyond the current economic cycle\, so current market conditions are not necessarily an indicator for the viability of the sales. \n  \nPA mentioned the Mulalley’s site on Highbury New Park which seems to have stalled. RG – this is in Islington and there may be many reasons why the programme has been delayed. Mulalley have done a lot of work in Hackney and are committed to continuing work in the borough. \n  \nPA and JWM thought that the internal Decent Homes work that Mulalleys did was not very satisfactory. RG acknowledged that at the site visits\, residents preferred Durkan but this tender has been won fairly and represents the best value for residents and the borough. \n  \nES asked about checking the quality of work. RG responded that there will be Clerks of Works by trade and the LBH in-house design team are also a resource to ensure high standards. \n  \nES asked about the extent to which architects KCA and HHB will be involved. RG replied that Mulalley are being strongly encouraged to retain their services. \n  \nCP raised the positive feedback from other existing and more recent Mulalley schemes in Hackney. CS referred to the good tenant feedback from Bridge House. It was agreed to work towards a site visit here on a Saturday morning in January 2023. CS to suggest possible homes to visit and to make initial approaches to residents. \n  \nRG showed slides of Mulalley’s tender introduction to illustrate their approach to resident engagement (using Newman Francis as engagement specialists). There was evidence that they had looked carefully at lessons from phase 1&2 and future involvement with the RSG. \n  \nKH emphasised the importance of making communications easy if things are not looking right. RG highlighted an example of Mulalley’s approach: when arranging the works in south side rear gardens\, they will have block meetings and 1:1 meetings with ground floor residents\, a condition survey will be completed\, secure storage for items that need to moved will be arranged and good notice of the start of works given. \n  \nJWM asked about how concrete posts for the balconies will be installed in ground floor rear gardens; the pocket park and other features on Queens Drive must be preserved. RG indicated that Mulalleys will be aware of all the constraints and suggested that they be invited to an RSG meeting soon to explain their access management plan. \n  \nRG talked through slides reminding the meeting of the design principles and illustrating  Mulalley’s approach. It was agreed to look at the second half of the presentation at the December RSG meeting which showed elements of Mulalley’s Invitation to Tender response. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCS\n\n\n4.0\nPhase 1& 2 update  \n \n\n\n  \n4.1\nRG introduced a post-occupancy evaluation exercise to concentrate on the heating\, ventilation\, energy efficiency and comfort of flats. A survey will be carried out between 25th October and 27th November. In addition\, volunteers are sought for a data logging exercise to gather more detailed information. ES and KH volunteered and JWM suggested that Julie\, a ground floor tenant in the northside blocks might also be willing to put herself forward.\n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\n4.2\nRG introduced the proposal to replace an item of equipment on the play street with stepping stones (images were circulated before the meeting). JWM reported a lack of enthusiasm from members of the youth club. No decision could be made on this at the meeting. \n[See images below of suggested ‘stepping stones’ for Play Street] \n \n \n\n\n  \n4.3\nOngoing defects in the new northside blocks was discussed. RG reported that the LBH lifts team have a proposal that Steve Waddington (the director responsible for this service area) is committed to implementing. CP reported that she and Cllr Adejare have received a lot of casework on this issue. She has asked for data on each breakdown and is pressing to get someone to speak to this at the ETRA on 19th. \n  \nKH wished to emphasise the importance of communication from LBH; the service from the operational teams has been unacceptable. He also cited the failure of the main door to his block. JWM added that southside residents have also been dissatisfied with the service they receive. CP re-stated that she is working to get someone to address these issues at next weeks’ ETRA meeting. KH also asked for someone to attend to deal with fire safety issues. \n  \nCP suggested that EP email her with anything else that needs to be raised at the meeting. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nEP\n\n\n5.0\nTRA update \n \n\n\n  \n5.1\nEP gave an update. \ni)        The AGM was held on 14th Sept. The committee is largely the same; EP still Chair. \nii)       A trip to the beach was organised for 10th Sept. \niii)     The committee had decided to issue a newsletter update instead of the next community & social TRA meeting \niv)     A winter market is planned for 3rd December \nv)       Hackney Showroom’s next Kings Feast is on 19th November \nvi)     JWM reported that the Youth Club is getting stronger. A small group of older ‘young’ people approached her to ask about a youth club for their age group\, so she is meeting them again to explore this\n \n\n\n6.0\nITLA update\n \n\n\n  \n6.1\n  \nCS reported that Source are now halfway through their 5 year contract but are not halfway through their budget.

SUMMARY:September Beautiful Breath
DESCRIPTION:THE BEAUTIFUL BREATH\nWith AJ \nIn person on the last Tuesday of every month 7.30-9pm \nThis is a soothing session that combines Wim Hof inspired breathing techniques with ancient Qi Gong practices that will leave you feeling deeply relaxed and at peace.\nCost £5 per session (all profits going to charity*) \nClick here to book: The Beautiful Breath \nMore details: \n\n\n\nThe breath is a beautiful and powerful tool that if given awareness too\, can sooth our nervous systems and leave us with a sense of calm and fluidity even in the most stressful of situations. \nIn this session you will be guided through a Wim Hof inspired breathing technique breath by breath\, in a tribal- inspired gathering\, in time with calming music\, which will leave your body and mind in a state of complete calm and relaxation. We will then take this peaceful energy you have created and using a very simple Qi Gong form\, send it to every cell in your body removing any blockages\, creating a sense of fluidity and flow in and around you. \nThe session runs for approx 50 minutes and a little longer sometimes if people are keen to ask questions at the end. Please wear loose comfortable clothing to the class and I look forward to meeting you. \nAJ x \nBREATH\, FEEL\, FLOW. \n*The £5 charge for the class is to cover the cost of hiring the venue\, book here\, after that any profit will go to the Ukraine crisis appeal.

SUMMARY:September Meditation
DESCRIPTION:ENERGY-LIFT GUIDED MEDITATION\n\n& Community Connection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwith Aimee Sri Laxmi & Laura Vasu Devi \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person every month!\nThe class from 11.30am to 1pm offers guided meditation practice\, insight and breathwork to support your mental\, physical and emotional wellbeing.\nRe-charge your energetic batteries and feel uplifted!\n\n1-2pm will be a time to relax with a cuppa\, chat to the facillitators and connect as a community.\n\nClick HERE to pay and confirm booking\n\n\n\n  \nMore about this topic: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSometimes the people we love the most can be the ones that seem exceptionally good at pressing our buttons!  And yet we can learn so much about ourselves from the mirror that relationships with others provide.  It’s easy to love and accept people who think like us and agree with us but what about when they don’t?   \nRam Dass is often quoted as saying: \nIf You Think You’re Enlightened\, Go Spend a Week with Your Family\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday 17th September we are kicking off again with our half day meditation playshops working on a relationship that we would like some inner lift and shift around.   \n\n\nWe will be looking at Shadow work – what we disown in ourselves and project onto others can be a key to our own healing. \n\n\n\n\nWe will have a group energy healing on the energy of the relationship we are working on.  We will be cleaning up our side of the energetic ‘jam jar’ that holds the energy of the relationship we wish to transform \n\n\n\n\nForgiveness and unlocking the heart!  The heart is the gateway to more love\, ease and grace in life.  when we hold grudges and resentment we block lifes flow. \n\n\nThis meditation workshop is for you if: \n\n\nYou have a person in your life who triggers anger or frustration regularly \n\n\nYou notice that there is particular issue you can not talk about with a member of your family without getting into an argument \n\nYou feel criticized or judged by a person in your life\nYou are blocked by a work colleague who never seems to like your ideas\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick HERE to pay and confirm booking\n  \nAimee & Laura also offer weekly meditation class via Zoom on Monday evenings (Aimee) and Thursday evenings (Laura). \nContact them for Zoom link or to request free place at in-person event: Aimeehamblyn@gmail.com hello@laurahamblyn.com
