Ever wonder why some of the meat we eat is given different names to where it originates from? As children.. we are taken to farms to see the cows and pigs, we are taught what noises they make, we are taught to love them. Why is it that we are not then taught that we are eating those pigs and cows... We are none the wiser as we are served 'pork' and 'beef' (not 'pig' and 'cow') so don't put two and two together. Maybe it's time we make the link between the farm animals and food, especially to our children so they understand the association and can decide whether they actually want to eat the pig or cow that they saw at the farm yesterday! 🐮🐷❤️

Sunday 6th August....Join us at the studio for an amazing Yoga Nidra Workshop with Christine. You don't want to miss this one...1 hour of Yoga Nidra = 4 hours of regular sleep!!! Happy days!! :) See below for details :) Email us on [email protected] to book :)

The answers are within us... We just need to quieten our minds for long enough to hear them ❤️

Meditation followed by electrolyte shot (cucumber and celery) to start the day

Recent news from the Grenfell Fire Response Team:


ABOUT THE GRENFELL FIRE RESPONSE TEAM:

The Grenfell Fire Response Team has been set up to support residents affected by the fire. The team includes London-wide local and regional government, central government, British Red Cross, Metropolitan Police, London Fire Brigade and many different local and national voluntary groups.

The Grenfell Fire Response Team is being led by John Barradell, OBE, Chief Executive of Corporation of London, and a Gold Command Centre has been set up to manage the response.

The Grenfell Fire Response Team is working hard to put in place support and services for those affected by the fire. This leaflet (https://www.westminster.gov.uk/sites/www.westminster.gov.uk/files/uploads/grenfell_tower_assistance_leaflet.pdf) has been distributed in the area around Grenfell Tower to signpost information about the support available and a newsletter is regularly being produced.

The purpose of this update is to provide you with our latest information on the response. You will now receive regular updates in this way. Please feel free to pass this on to other people who may find it useful.

HOUSING

We have offered emergency hotel accommodation in the local area to everyone who needs it.

Housing numbers across Grenfell Tower, Grenfell Walk and the cordon area are:

*In total there are 354 households in emergency accommodation.

*140 hotel placements have been made for people living in Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk.

*There are also 109 additional households now in hotels from the wider affected area.

*There have been 59 additional high-vis workers, including 38 Red Cross in the centre & undertaking community liaison.

*137 keyworkers are supporting people affected.

*Work is now taking place to assess the housing needs of all Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk families to identify longer-term accommodation in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and neighbouring boroughs.

*So far 127 housing needs assessments have been completed.

*21 households from Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk have not had their housing needs assessed yet. These households have been contacted. We continue to work with the families using the assistance of volunteers to accurately assess their needs.

*28 viewings are taking place for families to view properties we have offered to date.

*68 new build flats as part of the Kensington Road development in the borough will be provided to re-house residents from Grenfell Tower. These will be ready by the end July 2017.


FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

As of 12 midday on 22 June, £999,830 has been distributed to affected families.

This is made up of a £500 cash payments and £5,000 delivered through DWP into bank accounts or similar in a single payment, along with discretionary payments made by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

94 households have been given the £5,000 payments so far.


BOILERS

The hot water boiler which serves Grenfell Tower and surrounding properties – covering a total of 394 homes - was located under the Tower and completely destroyed by the fire.

Military specialists have supported a local authority engineering assessment on site. As a result, plans are now progressing to install a temporary boiler. We will ensure this is in place as soon as possible.

In the meantime, any residents who want to do so can be placed in hotel accommodation.


UTILITY COMPANIES

The Government and utility companies have announced a package of support for Grenfell victims across energy, water and telecommunications. This includes suppliers agreeing to write off outstanding utility bills for victims of the fire, and the support comes on top of the £5 million fund to pay for emergency supplies, food, clothes and other costs. Further details can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-and-utility-companies-announce-package-of-support-for-grenfell-victims


AIR QUALITY

Public Health England (PHE) has been providing specialist advice on health following the Grenfell Tower fire. This includes health advice on air quality, smoke exposure, asbestos, and the clean-up process.

The British Red Cross is coordinating and providing assistance. The British Red Cross personnel, public sector staff, and volunteers have been on site 24 hours a day since early last Wednesday. They are undertaking outreach work to find people who need help and we have also asked them to be at airports to meet grieving relatives as they arrive. They can also help distribute donations that have poured in from the public.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are people in emergency housing being put in tower blocks?

No. People are being temporarily housed in hotel accommodation in or close to the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.


Are people living in parks?

We are not aware of anybody living in parks and there is no need for people to be living in parks if that is the case we would urge people to come to the Westway Sports Centre so we can help with their housing needs.


Are people been forced out of the borough, or being made intentionally homeless?

This is simply not true. No one is being forced to move out of London, or being threatened with being made homeless. We’re working to find the right accommodation for those affected residents, either in Kensington and Chelsea or neighbouring boroughs.


Are people affected by the fire being asked for ID at the assessment centre?

People affected by the fire were issued letters informing them of the process to access funding and we have asked them to show this letter as some people may have had their IDs destroyed in the fire. This is to ensure those who need support get it. They should not be asked for their ID.


Concerns about cyanide released in the air from the fire?

Public Health England air quality tests over the past week following the Grenfell Tower fire shows no detectable deterioration in air quality. They have advised that smoke from any fire is toxic and can contain a range of chemicals such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, irritant gases such as hydrogen chloride. The amounts of toxic products will vary with the materials involved in a fire, its temperature and the amount of oxygen.


Undocumented migrants – What will happen to anyone who isn’t documented but lived in the tower?

We will not use this tragic incident as a reason to carry out immigration checks on those involved and those providing vital information to identify victims. We will also make sure that all victims, irrespective of their immigration status, will be able to access the services they need, including accommodation and healthcare.

Hey lovely peeps :) Donation update ❤️ The Grenfell nursery has been relocated and were requesting toys and nursery themed donations. We headed up there stocked up with all that we have for kiddies but unfortunately, the tubes had been suspended to both Latimer Road and Ladbroke Grove and the buses were also restricted so we ended up coming back home :) I have since heard that the nursery now has more than enough donations which is amazing!! :) Keep posted for further updates and keep the amazing love and support coming in 😘😘😘 Thank you 😘😘
