The Daily Mile Challenge
Are you taking part in the Daily Mile challenge? If so, get in touch! We’d love to see pictures of our participants and their families enjoying the Great Outdoors. Tell us where you’ve been and how much you enjoyed getting out into the fresh air.
Why stop there? We’d love it if our staff, volunteers, board members, supporters and our social enterprise café customers all sent in their photos to show us how they’ve been keeping fit during this current lockdown.
The #DailyMileAtHome is an easy and fun way to keep fit and maintain good health and wellbeing for everyone. To take part, all you have to do is walk, run or jog in the fresh air at whatever pace suits you best.
For more info, go to: thedailymile.co.uk/at-home/
If you do decide to take part, please follow the guidelines which are in place to keep everyone safe.
At present, the Stormont Executive is advising everyone to stay at home due to the very high number of coronavirus cases in Northern Ireland. However, you can leave your home to exercise in a public outdoor place:
• by yourself
• with the people you live with
• with your bubble
• or, when on your own, with one person from another household
The government also advises that you should not travel more than 10 miles from your home in order to take exercise. If, when you arrive at your destination, there are crowds which will make social distancing difficult you should find an alternative place to exercise. (Source: nidirect.gov.uk)

Let Your Voice Be Heard…
The lovely people at the Oh Yeah Centre in Belfast want to find out more about the music you like and how you listen to it. They’ve created a survey they would love you to fill in.
They are trying to find out more about what music young people listen to, the level of music education available to you…and how exactly you are coping during this pandemic. The information you provide will help shape future music initiatives for young people living here.
To enter, you need to be aged between 13 and 24 and living in Northern Ireland. As a thank you, you will be entered into a draw to win a £50 gift voucher or some record store vouchers.
The link to the Big Music Survey is: www.bit.ly/ohyeahyouthsurvey
Oh Yeah is a Belfast based charity and a social enterprise.

Each month we ask you, our Black Moon Armagh crew, to send in your favourite song requests for the DJ. This year, we are going to have a theme each month and since January is the first month of the New Year, we would like you to…..
Suggest songs for this month’s disco with ONE of the following words in either the TITLE or SINGER/BAND’S NAME:

Here are some examples of songs that will work:
HAPPY by Pharrell Williams
NEW York, NEW York by Frank Sinatra
Light YEARs by Kylie Minogue

King – YEARs and YEARs
Got it? Great! Get your thinking caps on and let us know your song requests by leaving them in the comments below. The DJ will play as many as possible along with his own favourite hits!

The latest guidance on the new restrictions that have been imposed across the UK.Petition For The Re-Prioritisation Of COVID – 19 Vaccinations For People With A Learning Disability
We are very grateful that our frontline staff are being prioritised for the COVID -19 vaccination, however, not all of the young people incredABLE supports are being made a priority at this point.
There is a UK wide petition attempting to re-prioritise vaccinating people with a learning disability. Please consider getting onboard with campaign. Thank you. 👇👇👇👇👇

Petition: Prioritise vaccinations for people with a learning disability
petition.parliament.uk
The government should ensure that people with learning disabilities are high on the priority list for vaccination. Shockingly, young people with learning disabilities aged 18-34 are thirty times more likely to die from Covid-19 than those without a learning disability,
