    Culture, Leisure and Sport Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Oliver Lewis December 2018 Latest News Live Well Spotlight During the quarter two delivery of the Live Well service, we have achieved some very positive results in terms of health outcomes and stakeholder engagement. Within this quarter, both the number of Just Be website visits and residents opting in for the 12 month face to face behaviour change support increased by 50% or more against that of the same period in year 1. In total, our team of Live Well Advisors have delivered 1,620 initial appointments to residents and helped approximately 250 residents (from July to September) to access and complete the Health MOT at one of the Live Well hubs across Croydon. In October, the team integrated two new health tools to the Just Be website; a Heart Age Calculator and the Stoptober Personal Quit Plan, both of which generated high interest and interaction by residents. Both these tools will become a permanent feature of the website moving forward. Live Well Croydon will shortly be launching the MECC (Making Every Contact Count) on-line training via the council’s learning and development portal. MECC is a tool to support and enable us all to make a difference if we made the most of each and every opportunity to have a brief conversation with the people we meet on a daily basis; our residents, colleagues and friends and point them in the right direction for help in making healthy lifestyle choices. MECC should be an integral part of what we do across all of our services and to this end we have signed up to the MECC London Pledge.

This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2.

  • The Future of Fairfield Halls
    THE FUTURE OF FAIRFIELD HALLS Sean Creighton, Norbury resident, historian, and Co-ordinator of the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Network A discussion contribution by Sean FRED SCOTT, CROYDON PIANIST, ON WORKING WITH FH FH has always been co-operative in allowing me to book events there focused on performances involving local young artists across genres of music. ‘Soundpractice has staged events including lunchtime concerts, pre-concert foyer performances and events for last year's Coleridge-Taylor Festival. This last especially was a great forum for young people to perform; some students of mine were able to have premiered a piece they had written around SCT, also involving LMP in the performance. Last November saw local Youth Theatre Company Studio 74 give the first performance in Ashcroft Theatre of a new musical by Stella Coussell (South London composer) called 'Song for the World', based around the life of SCT, a further performance for BHM 2013 is currently being arranged. in addition, Soundpractice has been able to put on concerts as fund-raisers for Skeletal Cancer Action Trust, some of these have featured people affected by that disease. More of these concerts are planned for 2014. There will be a series of concerts in Spring 2014 which will raise funds for SCAT, involving a celebration of the 80th birthday of eminent British composer, and South London resident, Justin Connolly, who will also be performing himself. Future concerts in 2014 will also include prominent international artists in recital who bring their considerable following to Croydon. Included in current planning is to stage a major international-reach multi-genre music festival culminating in a collaboration to find instrumentalists, composers and conductors of excellence.
