New Staff – Izzy

Isabel Lean is one of  HELPP’s Development Worker’s

 

Hi everyone!!  I started with the project as a Development Worker on the 21^st July 2008, but have been involved with HELPP over the years through my role as a qualified Fitness Instructor.

 

The staff have made me feel very welcome and I feel as if I have worked here all of my life, the whole 21 years!! Well a woman can dream can’t she!!  I previously worked for Midlothian Financial Inclusion Network and Midlothian Council’s Regeneration Development Team on various projects and have experience of Youth Work and working with Adults and Older People.  I am on the board for both Y2K and Mayfield & Easthouses Development Trust, as well as being actively involved with Newbattle High School on their Parent Council. 

 

My work with HELPP will involve the implementation and running of eight week courses for a Men’s Health Group, WWHAM (Woodburn Women’s Health and Motivation Group), Mayfield Community Health Action Group, Mayfield Walker’s Group and Glencourse Soldiers Wives Group.  I am looking forward to meeting lots of new people and showing them the benefits that a healthier lifestyle can bring, both physically and mentally.

 

I can be contacted on 0131 660 5055 or by emailing Isabel@helpp.org.uk
