Eagles COVID response in action
Regular Group Activity support
The pandemic closed the building Eagle used so the management
team (EMC) had to rethink Eagles offering. EMC built a contact list
of 150 people. The team selected zoom as a video communication
tool and began to have twice weekly management meetings to plan
how Eagle would continue to deliver charitable services. By the end
of March 2020t Eagle was already delivering zoom based activity
classes to an initial group of over 40 interested users.
Through the 1stQuarter of this reporting year the EMC introduced
further online activities. Eagle added Book Club, Kundalini Yoga,
Bingo, Keep Fit classes, Quiz night and Pilates to Eagle zoom
activities. Eagle has maintained these throughout the year to make
sure that the expanded interested group of over 80 people stay
mentally well and fit.
These activities ran throughout the reporting year through to March
2021
Over 200 daytime exercise classes were given. 78 Keep Fit, 50
Yoga, 45 Pilates and 36 Kundalini Yoga. All classes were led by

prearranged recipe via two cameras. Attendees followed her lead and all sat down to eat together in a virtual dinner party.

Eagle invested in equipment for badminton and photography groups and started to make plans and risk assessments in anticipation of easing of lockdown restrictions. Once lockdown restrictions were eased through the Summer and Government legislation allowed Eagle began to pioneer Air Badminton in Clissold Park with our coach and gradually increased the group in line with looser regulations. Around a dozen Clissold Park events were run with lunch and other games including rounders and Frisby with the park gatherings eventually attracting 24 people a week. Personnel Changes Long serving yoga teacher, Julie, graduated with an MA in psychotherapy and, sadly for us, got a full time-job with RBKC. T Mike Sanderson one of Eagle founders and stalwart retired from Eagle after 9 years of service but remained available to help us until November. Individual member support Over the period April thru September each Eagle member was contacted three times to establish and monitor their needs. It quickly became evident that those members living alone were suffering from the enforced isolation as were the vast UK population. This isolation driven by memories of previous addiction behaviour were causing significant anxiety issues and lack of access to any form of social contact triggering potential of relapse On the ground Eagle began handing out over 200 packages of emergency support in the form of phone credit, food parcels, PPE and even computers to support digital inclusion. Referrals for support came from several sources including the Islington Treatment Service, Better Lives including some Islington homeless addicts relocated to a hotel outside the Borough. Several trips to deliver food were made to help them survive. Eagle co-produced a food parcel service with the Manor Gardens charity for Eagle members with families who had more complex financial difficulties Food parcel support ended in September as the larger more established agencies came onstream with their support offerings. Counselling support – Four members entered 3[rd] party counselling services being funded for online counselling. The allocation of counselling was run by an Eagle volunteer who is also a qualified therapist to ensure arm’s length relationships with external counsellors and the service users. This ensures that no service

Group Outings

Hastings Trip 24/8/2020, 20 people Bowling 28/ 6/ 2020, 12 people, Bowling 1/ 8/ 2020. 12 people

In November 2020 Eagle took a dozen or so brave service users to the RIO cinema Dalston on the last day before lockdown to see “The Summer of 85! A brilliant movie.

Seasonal end to 2020

The guitar group rehearsed some songs and we filmed them for a carol concert we were organising. The Concert was held via zoom with a mixture of the pre-recorded songs and live singalong to karaoke style carols. Due to the variable time delay on everyone’s internet and computers anything sung live was fairly awful, so it paid to sing as loudly as possible at your own location to drown out everyone else. Despite the audio quality it was a great hit with everyone and it is hoped to continue this as a tradition every December, hopefully in real life.

The counselling service was re-advertised through the Eagle monthly newsletter and attracted two further clients.

Gardening Club co-production with Better Lives utilising the garden of 28B King Henrys Walk

Compared with the first nine months of the reporting year 2021 started quietly. However, we had been working with Dr Adam Monsell, a psychiatrist with Better Lives, on planning a coproduced garden project 50/50 between Eagles and the Treatment Provider since November. The pictures above were taken from opposite ends of the same path in November 2020. We started building work in January and the picture below from January shows some of the building materieals laid out ready for construction.

The two pictures below show the construction complete during March 2021 ready for the service users to start the group in April. This was the first and for some time only face to face group running anywhere in the borough and has proved an extremely important project helping many service users and providing a template for how Eagles and Better Lives can work together. Using this Template a second coproduced group, The Theatre Project will be starting in April 2022

We are grateful to Dr Adam Monsell for the photographs.

The reporting year ends with the positive energy and enthusiasm for new experiences which Eagle brings to its service user members.
