A new evening South Liverpool ‘networking’ walk in Sefton Park, which began last week courtesy of the acclaimed MOVE Netwalking, has been deemed a big success, with a second event to follow  this coming Wednesday 19th July.

Wednesday’s event is part of MOVE Netwalking’s continuing celebrations for its fourth birthday, having helped many companies with introductions to others in business and kept people in good shape too.

Founders Mark Waldron and Andrea Edwards established the company four years ago after acknowledging the value of  walking, nature and ‘Netwalking’ as they call it.

Joel Jelen, who runs multi-sector pr & marketing outfit Wellbeing Ubiquity and breathing education business SniffSighYawn.com, is collaborating on their new weekly evening Netwalk. He said: “Lasting around 60 minutes, all those who sign up take part at a reasonable walking pace in between sauntering and power walking and networking…basically socialising! Afterwards, we all  gather at local café Milo Lounge in Lark Lane to complete the evening with some quality conversation in a convivial atmosphere.”

Mark added: “We had a great turnout last week and we have had so many good stories already about the benefit of taking part!

Lesley Martin-Wright, chief executive of Knowsley Chamber of Commerce enthused: “It was just a perfect evening in an iconic setting. Thank you!”

Another of the Move Netwalkers, Jade Ainsworth, a model and influencer who also owns www.houseofglitzandglamour.co.uk, said: “I’ve had lots of interest after posting about the event from friends and followers alike and I’ll definitely be returning this week.”

A small, award-winning charity hoping to expand its services supporting disabled and vulnerable people across Liverpool received plaudits from Government Minister and Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Sport, Tourism, Heritage and Civil Society Stuart Andrew MP and National Lottery CEO David Knott following their recent visit to Liverpool.

The Anfield-based organisation, the brainchild of CEO Dave Kelly after he went blind almost overnight more than 30 years ago, put together the EuroMist Games day of sport with teams representing Great Britain, Ukraine and Germany. The day was dedicated to highlighting Daisy’s work in the field of disability, sport, diversity and inclusion.

Dave Kelly said: “It was an absolute pleasure meeting both Stuart and David. They were so approachable and easy to engage with in what was a very relaxed environment and a great showcase of the essential work that Daisy Inclusive delivers in supporting disabled and vulnerable people in our community.

“Perhaps most satisfying was their genuine words of encouragement and approval of what we do. Their feedback really highlighted Daisy’s continued need for support too.”

Activities for the EuroMist Games included wheelchair basketball and a Blind Football Penalty shoot-out, with teams from the likes of Daisy Inclusive UK, InterStellar Global,  Your Voice Your Choice, Onward Homes, LFC Foundation and Liverpool Life Rooms all participating.

Mr Andrew summed up what Dave Kelly and the whole Daisy Inclusive UK team wanted to hear: “It is amazing, you are a charitable community organisation that knows your community and the needs of the people and that’s what makes it tick for me. Supporting small charities is a passion of mine and we need to see what else we can do, thank you for what you do, it’s fantastic work.”

As well as ‘Inclusive Sport’, Daisy offers a range of activities including Socials and Disability Hate Crime initiatives, including Report and Support, Education and Employment.

Dave Kelly concluded:  “The EuroMIST was basically our regular Merseyside Inclusive Sports Tournament Games with a Eurovision slant. They empower organisations to support people with disabilities. We use Inclusive Sport too using ‘Reverse Inclusion’, where activities are designed with disability in mind and then include the non-disabled.”

Liverpool-based Workplace Wellness and ESG company Sniff Sigh Yawn, which runs a mix of showcases from interactive workshops, masterclasses, on and off-site events and one-to-one consults in person and face-to-face, has begun its latest project with new client, Samson Security.

Samson Security has its HQ and command centre based in Wavertree and the acclaimed security solutions business is keen to continue its ongoing commitment to team wellbeing which the company began long before workplace wellness became a trend.

Samson Security’s Andie Fessey said: “We recently had an amazing session with some of the team and Joel Jelen from Sniff Sigh Yawn. I can highly recommend his work and we’re already trying his techniques. We are all looking forward to his next visit.”

Joel, a well known wellbeing advocate across Merseyside, believes companies like Samson Security have been setting the tone for the way forward in ESG and workplace wellness.

“I know from speaking with Andie and members of the team that Samson Security are a fine example of how progressive companies working in the corporate and SME space can help provide a genuine level of care for their people through implementing wellness initiatives.

“Many of the companies i’m meeting now acknowledge that there is a direct correlation between having workplace wellness plans in place and their ability to retain staff, enhance productivity, performance and profit.”
