Staff Wellbeing

A key priority is our emerging wellbeing agenda for staff and volunteers.

The on site Wellbeing Centre is a dedicated resource for staff and volunteer wellbeing.  It’s a space to relax and recuperate, and access support and resources, all away from the daily working environment.  There are many areas within the Wellbeing Centre to take advantage of.  Staff and volunteers are invited to drop by and enjoy a light refreshment from our barista coffee machine as well as a varied selection of teas, coffees, soft drinks and biscuits.  Among other things, there are lovely couches and chairs to chill on, a dedicated quiet area, and massage equipment to help with relaxation.  Wellbeing advisors are on hand from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday to offer advice, support and signposting.

Wellbeing resources include the National Wellbeing Hub, mindfulness and relaxation sessions, lunchtime clubs, coaching and wellbeing, and lots more. 

Wellbeing activity during the year included everything from health events and wellbeing webinars to coffee and conversation mornings, financial and pre-retirement workshops, mindfulness and relaxation sessions, massage and yoga sessions, the creation of a Peer Support Network, and the North Coast NC500 (walking, cycling & running) challenge.
