Roz Hardie, Manager of Lewisham Disability Coalition

I am a manager of Lewisham Disability Coalition which provides strategic support, project management, governance and financial support to Chinbrook Action Residents Team (ChART) Big Local Area.

ChART Big Local is a 10 year programme, funded by the National Lottery.  Two of the residents’ priorities are Health and Well- being and Parks and Green Spaces.  Over the summer months we commissioned a series of free activities to run for residents and visitors in Chinbrook Meadows. Unfortunately our initial yoga teacher was unreliable and did not turn up for several sessions.

Geny came to our assistance and quickly helped us resurrect the sessions and interest in the use of the park.  She has proved a reliable and highly skilled yoga teacher.  The classes she leads are mixed ability and in the open air without pre-booking which means potentially very different ability levels attend each class. Geny has coped well with these challenges and made sure the classes are genuinely inclusive and welcoming to all e.g. incorporating chair yoga for some of the elderly participants.

She is also a charismatic, confident and cheerful person, which is important when leading a session and encouraging people to do their best while bearing in mind physical limitations.

We have had extremely positive feedback about the sessions via our anonymous questionnaires about the programme as a whole and I would not hesitate to recommend her to other potential commissioners.

Yours sincerely

Roz Hardie
Director
