Dear CHIFA colleagues,
On Monday (25th), Children for Health is launching a podcast. The idea is to have inspiring conversations with allies who implement health education projects and either developing programmes or working directly with the children.
We are finding out from them what is really working and how best an organisation such as ours can celebrate and showcase what they are doing and amplify their good ideas. They know better than anyone what really works and how we can mobilise children to best improve their own and
others’ health.
I’d be so grateful if you would consider sharing a post about the podcast on Monday with your networks and/or engaging with the post here on Hifa? I would send you a link!
For many reasons I have been a little quiet on social media in recent months!
We have put so much into the creation of our free resource hub – each resource co-created over many months and even years and we’d love your help to get more people to get to know what we are up to, our practical approach to children’s participation and the many free posters and storybooks that anyone can download from us for free. We HOPE that this podcast will help to direct more people to our free stuff.
Let me know if you’d be happy to share / engage with the link…
