Living Medicine – Self Care for Coughs, Colds & Allergies
Saturday 10th September, 1pm to 5pm
With autumn now approaching, explore how resilience to infections can be improved through non-medical nutritional and herbal support. This practical session will include demonstrations, a walk in the garden, and a guide and utensils to take home.
Medical herbalist Alex Laird of Living Medicine will guide you on how to:
- Identify, smell and taste common healing plants
- Find out how plants’ defensive compounds promote and protect our own body functions
- Make food and herb remedies to treat simple coughs, colds and allergies
This is the second in a five part series of workshops but can be attended as a standalone session. It is ideal for anyone interested in plants, food and health. No previous knowledge is necessary, though we’d love you to share your own experience or family remedies. Alex Laird BSc set up the first herbal clinic in hospital dermatology at Whipps Cross Hospital and also practices at The Haven breast cancer support centre in Fulham.

Silver Sunday is supported by Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London.
It is so important that older people feel included in London’s communities. That is why I support Silver Sunday and hope that you all have a wonderful time celebrating the valuable contributions that older people make. These contributions span not just London but up and down the UK. In a city as large as London there is no need for older people to ever feel lonely or isolated but sadly some do. As Mayor, I want to make sure that everyone is engaged and active in their community – young or older.”
QSIR: Practitioner is a nationally accredited program from the Advancing Change and Transformation (ACT) Academy that provides participants with the know-how to design and implement more productive services.
It is based on highly successful previous courses and offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes:
- Leadership Fundamentals
- Project Management
- Sustainability of Improvement
- Engaging and Working with Others
- Process Mapping
- Creativity in Improvement
- Measurement for Improvement
- Demand and Capacity
Participants attend for five days over a three month period, and must have an existing project or project idea. During the program they apply the learning from the course to their own improvement projects, being supported between workshops to help make them a success. They are therefore not only learning methodology in quality improvement, but actively changing and improving local services as they study.
On Thursday 15th September from 2pm – 4pm

‘Made of Money’ is running a 2 day Facilitator Training in London on 5th – 6th October 2016.
‘Made of Money’ is an award winning financial literacy resource, developed by anti-poverty charity Quaker Social Action. It aims to help groups talk about money and its impact on their lives, as well as learn vital money management skills. It is ideal to help front line workers offer support to those on low income, particularly in the run up to the introduction of Universal Credit, and all the welfare benefit changes.
‘Made of Money’ takes a different and innovative approach to financial literacy: it works holistically- with the whole person and the whole household. The resources aim to build confidence; resilience and help people identify their own values and attitudes around money, as well as covering basics like budgeting, borrowing and debt. We recognise that unless people’s own situations are explored and confidence is increased, they won’t change behavior long–term. This in turn builds a more stable platform for the whole household financially.
‘Made of Money’ also focuses on emotions around money, our experiences growing up, consumer culture, communication about money & the pressure of raising children on low income. The resources are all provided, fully reusable as well as really fun and engaging!
