The amount of health-related activity this year was particularly high.  This may have been an after-effect of the Covid pandemic when appointments were not available.  Regular meetings with a mentor will provide a reminder of appointments that need to be made. (4/4)

[Bridging the Gap Mentoring @GapIslington]

Our statistics for 2022-23 show that over 70% of the people we mentored made a definable step to improve their health.  What does this mean in practice? (1/4)

4 people took more exercise and improved their eating habits
1 person registered with a G.P.
1 person got a hearing aid
