Invitation to DNP's AGM
We are pleased to be able to invite you to the Downham Nutrition Partnership's AGM
and hope you will be able to join us. Our AGM will be followed by home made soup
and an opportunity to showcase and share with others what has been happening in
Downham in the past year.
We are holding the event at Goldsmiths Community Centre on
21st October ~ more details in the attached flier.
We hope you can make it ~ it would be lovely to see you.
If you would let Ruth (DNP.Ruth@googlemail.com
or 0208 697 6424) know you are coming by 9th October it would help with the catering. Thanks

Smoothie Bike
Looking for a fun and different way of promoting healthy eating and physical activity messages?
The Smoothie Bike is an innovative resource. A standard pedal bike (actually, it's a great mountain bike ) has been fitted to a stand, so it is stationary. Pedalling the bike powers the blender on the back. Add your favourite fruits, and hey presto - you make a Smoothie!
The Smoothie Bike may be free to use for organisations within Downham (Lewisham).
For those outside the area, it can be hire for £50 per day + delivery costs (if required.)
We also have an experienced Community Nutritionist, who may be available (at an extra cost - available upon request) to deliver sessions with the bike.
Due to the size of the bike, it is only suitable for children over the age of about 7 years of age.
