The three guys have begun attending weekly karaoke evenings at their local pub in Hackney. Although new to the Karaoke circuit, they're giving the local talent a run for their money. They are joined every week by two volunteers who help to support them; Cheol Hee Yoon and Taras Lischke.
Taras has told us that Joseph's rendition of Peter Andre's "Mysterious Girl" puts most other other performers in the shade. Could this be the start of HILT's first boy-band? ONWARD & UPWARD
By Sheilagh's own admission it took took a lot of sweat and tears to get through it. Although she's happy it's over and done with she is understandably proud of her acheivement. We're sure that everyone else would like to share Sheilagh's pride and that other managers currently to take some comfort and inspiration from it! PASTURES NEW Chas Ford, a service user who has been living at a Hilt residential project for many years has moved to Essex to live with his family. Staff and service users at the project bid him a fond farewell and wish him the best of luck in his new home. CHARLIE ADAMS RIP
He was a caring and generous man with a good sense of humour and a unique sartorial style. Outreach Manager, Ian Bond will notify service users & staff of funeral arrangements. Charlie was 60 years old. He is survived by his wife, Dorothy.

HILT
Service users, Simon, Israel and Joseph are fast becoming Hackney's
Karaoke Kings.
Cheol
Hee is from South Korea, where Karaoke is very popular. He said:
"in Korea we call it 'The Singing Room'. Everyone takes their
turn and will clap and cheer for all performers. I have found
that the same is true in London. All the people in the pub clap
and sing along when any one of us is on stage. As a foreigner
I find it very encouraging. It helps to build confidence and to
make me feel part of the local community. I think that Israel,
Joseph, Simon and Taras all feel the same way - they definately
seem to enjoy it."
Congratulations to HILT's Sheilagh Hindmarsh. Sheilagh manages
three HILT projects. She has recently completed her NVQ Level
4 in Health & Social Care Management.
Charlie
Adams sadly died on Saturday 19th February. Charlie was a much
loved character at HILT. He had been receiving a service from
the Outreach team for nine years and was well known in the local
community. Charlie will be greatly missed by the many people who
knew him and those who were involved in his support.
