You may have noticed the lack of information, results, and table updates since the last posting.
A combination of colleagues leaving, people having to give time to other work issues, and volunteer issues around recruitment and retention of teams ( some of which we think were phantom teams!) has meant that we have decided to bring the current KickStart programme to a halt - hopefully only a temporary one.
In the meantime, if you are a KickStart dad or player the GL1 sportshall is available for you to play 5-a-side football in up until the end of March on most Saturdays between 11.00 and 12.00. Please make use of this facility.
We are exploring how KickStart can be sustained and developed along with another project - the Men's Health Cafe - this will be dependent on available finance and an agreement with a community group to continue with this. If successful we'll make a posting on this blog and get back in touch with people.
KickStart has not only been a fun project - it has also enabled us to get across health information on a variety of subjects to a large group of men/fathers - information which will hopefully be retained as people go through life ( if one bloke remembers any of the information we've given out and visits their doctor, and receives treatment it will have been worth it; difficult to evaluate at this stage!)
Happy Christmas and New Year to all people who've been involved in KickStart!
Best wishes all
The KickStart Team
