Awful news. Please stay safe everyone.
Zoom User guide
The sessions will become active at 5pm, with an aim to start each session at 5:30pm
When the class is due to start please ensure your screen is set to speaker view – this
will ensure that the instructor (speaker) remains on the large screen for ease of
viewing.
The instructor will then mute all other users – this will mean that you can hear the
instructor but the instructor will not be able to hear you or any other user. This is to
ensure they remain on the large screen.
The instructor will not play any music during the sessions to ensure you can hear
their instructions clearly – however feel free to play your own music, as other users
will not hear this.
At the end of the session the instructor will unmute all users.

Hi All,
I would encourage anyone with any concerns right now to take a look at the BHF link on how to stay healthy whilst self-isolating.
It discusses all health aspects - physical activity, diet and mental health. It is important to address all at this time. As much as myself and Faye are here to help with the physical we are not experts in the other areas.
I have just had a meeting and been informed that Ealing IAPT service is no longer accepting any more referrals, so I urge you all to please take care of your mental health. Use the resources provided - apps such as Calm and Headspace have been recommended by our team psychologist. And do not underestimate talking to friends and family!
