The organisation plans to start a new project and work on the Stronger Communities Fund priorities ‘Reduce isolation and loneliness’ .The project will help local communities to reduce isolation and loneliness and enable them to feel better connected in their community. The project will target BAME women group who suffers from isolation and loneliness and are not well connected with the community. We have identified through different activities that many BAME women in our local area suffer from isolation and loneliness due to physical and mental illness, communication difficulties, poor self-confidence, poor economic condition, social and cultural barriers, lack of suitable activities and insufficient services available in the local area. We plan to help targeted women to reduce their isolation and loneliness and increase their connection with communities involving them with yoga. We will develop partnership in the project with Barking and Dagenham Unemployed People’s Association, a local charity. We will distribute leaflets, outreach local area, inform by word of mouth, contact with local community and community groups and use other channels like GP surgery, etc. to spread our message. We will recruit 25 targeted women (25+) from Dagenham area of Barking & Dagenham Borough. We will recruit a sessional Yoga trainer and hire some equipment requires for yoga classes. We will hire Epsilon Education Centre, Dagenham, for the project activities. We will deliver 24 sessions in 12 weeks on every Friday and Saturday from 4 P.M. to 6 P.M.. Participants will take break between two hours session. During break time we will do different kinds of activities which increase integration among participants. We will divide participants into several groups, ask them to interact with others, tell their own life stories and listen other’s stories and take tea/coffee together. The project activities will take place at a local community centre that is familiar, secured, accessible and appropriate for BAME women and they will feel comfortable to participate in the project. We will encourage participants to remain in the project until its completion. We will discuss with individual women, find out barriers they face and support them to overcome these. Inspire them to improve their confidence and reassure them that the activity will be a positive experience, a healthy way to spend time with community, a good way to catch up with friends or meet new people and an opportunity to develop new skills.
