Limbo

Staring out the window at another wet winter's day. 

It's now two months since we put our application in to the Charity Commission, still just getting computer generated holding emails.
I know there's nothing that can be done about it, but I'm not good at waiting... And currently I feel lost in the between, so much not getting done, eached missed funding deadline a reminder we're still waiting. 

Today was however slightly more productive - we've finally cracked the door with Active Cumbria (I think Sellafield may well have told them to fund us lol). In reality they should be very very aligned to Wellness Walks, but as most of the county based 'Active' teams in England have aligned with a non qualification based scheme that struggles to retain its volunteers, they seem reluctant to acknowledge we might just offer a better long term solution. But this is a start. That's all we need.

In related news; three of our volunteers have reached their committed number of walks this week (i.e. The number of walks they committed to deliver in return for a place on the training scheme) and, just as we hoped, all three are continuing to deliver walks as they find it so rewarding. A win for them, a win for us and a win for the people who come along.
