We provide a listening service and access to counselling through our wellbeing services, we will always try to run team building and social events to help foster a caring, family mentality. Please join in, or suggest any that you feel may help.

Reminding yourself to take notice of your thoughts, feelings, body sensations and the world around you is the first step to mindfulness.

It can be helpful to pick a regular time – the morning journey to work or a walk at lunchtime – during which you decide to be aware of the sensations created by the world around you.

Trying new things, such as sitting in a different seat in meetings or going somewhere new for lunch, can also help you notice the world in a new way.

To develop an awareness of thoughts and feelings, some people find it helpful to silently name them: “Here’s the thought that I might fail that exam”. Or, “This is anxiety”.

Our regular charity events, involving a variety of activities, allow us to give something back to great charities in various manners, there’s always an event to suit you! If you have a charitable cause close to your heart, please suggest it to your line manager, and we will all get behind it.

By finding a way to deal with the stresses of our day, we can create an environment of mutual respect and understanding amongst all of our colleagues.
