"I love coming here [to Out There! Daytime]. I've got good friends here. I like riding the bikes and going to the gym. Slimming World has made me confident as I've lost a lot of weight!" - Annette

"I feel so happy here. It's about friendships. I've also learnt to cook and know about independence. I can cook a jacket potato by myself and make coleslaw, salad and pasta. I've also learned about health and hygiene and hold a certificate. I've learnt about money too." - Jess

UF Radio - May 2021: "Your Vote Counts"

The show this month covers a discussion on voting as the country went to the polls to choose/elect their local politicians, Police and Crime Commissioner and, in our case in Redbridge, the London Mayor. We looked at what support people had to make sense of all the information, and actually go and vote. The discussion led on to focus on what our members felt were really important issues that need everyone's attention, particularly our government.

UF Radio - April 2021: "It's My Health!"

This month we talked about World Health Day and what that means today in 2021. Our members talked about what health means to them and who is responsible for our health? All this led to the ultimate question - how do you feel about your own health? It was clear that more work needs to be done around this vital topic before people actually feel in control of their health. A great song line-up will get you moving and feeling uplifted!
