Outreach 3 Way opens new premises for its Work Aid and Work Matters services in Crawley

Roger Mayne — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:48:32 +0000

Crawley-based Charity Outreach 3 Way supports people with learning difficulties in three main areas: work, home and leisure. Their Work Matters and Work Aid initiatives aim to help people gain the confidence and skills they need to work. The new premises in Ifield are an ideal base for the charity’s two pathways to work experience which both focus on building confidence and self esteem as well as skills.
Through Work Matters, people with additional needs can experience paid work in a safe, supportive workshop environment. Work Aid is a national initiative through which individuals are matched up with work or volunteering placements. Mayor of Crawley Cllr Brenda Burgess and Laura Moffatt MP supported the event at Alpine Works in Oak Road.

Outreach 3 Way’s Chief Executive Catherine Sweeney said, “It is fantastic to have support from our Mayor and MP, who recognise the value of the work we do supporting adults with learning difficulties to join the world of work.”

The premises have been freshly decorated, thanks to volunteers from local recycling company MNH. MNH offers recycling services to the airline industry and is a “positive about disabled people” accredited company. MNH have worked with Work Matters for ten years, and presented Outreach 3 Way charity with a plaque marking this milestone at the official opening.

Head of Outreach 3 Way Day Services Trixie Hewitt commented, “We really value the great working partnership we have with MNH. We welcome enquiries from other local companies who may want to use our services. These include packing, sorting, collating and recycling.”

The Work Matters service can be a useful bolt-on labour resource for companies who need help with time-consuming piece work such as sorting or recycling. Choosing Work Matters also helps businesses connect with the local community and meet Corporate Social Responsibility goals. Businesses that would like to get involved should call Trixie on 01293 655456 to find out more.

Make Your New Year’s Resolution To Improve Your Health

Roger Mayne — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:50:10 +0000

Each year, millions of people make New Year’s resolutions. If you intend to do the same, there is a good chance that your resolution is to improve your health. By improving your health, you can tackle many other problems, such as weight gain, poor finances, and so forth. So, how can you turn your New Year’s resolution of being healthier into a reality?

1 – Eat Healthy

Eating healthy is a great way to lose weight, but it also tackles many other problems. Those who are overweight or obese are known for eating unhealthy foods. Many have a weakness for junk food, such as cookies or chips. These items are okay to have on occasion, but they can lead to weight gain and misspent money. So, make one of your miniature goals to eat healthier. When you do, you will not only lose weight and improve your health, but save money from all that junk food you were buying.

If you are overweight or obese, you may have grown dependant on a number of foods. So, cutting cookies from your diet isn’t as easy as saying “I am not going to eat cookies anymore.” You will have many cravings. Instead of going cold turkey, wean yourself. Do you eat a cookie every day? Start with every other day, then every two days, and so forth. Soon, you will no longer experience craving and be on your way to healthier eating.

Healthy food comes in a number of different formats. Most make the mistake of believing they need to purchase diet foods. You do not. In fact, you will just waste money. Instead, opt for fruits, vegetables, low calorie, and low fat foods.

2 – Exercise

Exercise is one of the easiest ways to improve your health. Not only that, it helps with weight loss. So, if you do not have a solid exercise plan in place, make that one of your mini-goals. If you do exercise, but want to do more, opt for more extensive workout regimens.

When many think of exercise, they automatically see pound signs. You do not have to have the latest exercise equipment, exercise videos, or a gym membership. In fact, exercising can be free. Talk a walk around your neighbourhood, visit your local high school running track, or opt for walking inside a local shopping centre.

3 – Lose Weight

As previously stated, eating healthy and exercising can easily result in weight loss. Despite that, you should make it another one of your New Year’s resolution miniature goals. When you lose weight, you will find it easier to complete many day-to-day tasks, such as walking up a flight of stairs without losing your breath. If you are obese, losing weight can improve your health. It can lessen your chances of weight related health conditions, such as diabetes. or heart failure.

Those who make their New Year’s resolution to lose weight, often give up too soon. This is because most do not see immediate results. Weight loss will not happen overnight. It does take time. That is why you should keep improving your health as your main New Year’s resolution and weight loss a separate miniature goal. That way when you hop on the scale and realise you didn’t lose any weight one week, it will not be “the end of the world.”

4 – Increase Doctor Visits

If you have adequate health insurance coverage, another easy way to turn your New Year’s resolution of being healthy into a reality is by going to the doctor more. On average, most doctors recommend yearly checkups. If you experience an illness, go to the doctors. He or she may have helpful tips for you to quickly improve your health and get back on your feet quicker.

It is easier for medical professionals to spot health issues that need to be addressed. So, if you want to improve your health, but don’t know where to start, make an appointment.
