This year, our Be Well Manchester in work team decided to skip Secret Santa and instead put that money towards something more meaningful, buying a gift for a child in need.

They brought childrens toys and donated them to Cash for Kids Mission Christmas, helping make sure no child has to worry that Santa might not visit them this year.
A big thank you to Alan from our Be Well Manchester In Work team for safely delivering the gifts earlier this week!

As part of our in-house Workplace Wellbeing Group, we set a little winter photo challenge to encourage everyone to get outside, stay active, and snap something seasonal.

We had some brilliant entries, thank you to everyone who got involved!
First place went to Mel our HR Manager of her lovely little dog on a winters walk and the runner up photo went to Jane from our Be Well Manchester in work team!

Well done to both!

Yesterday, we were honoured to attend the 10th Anniversary Celebrations of the Princess Royal Training Award, and even more honoured to be recognised as an award recipient for our commitment to learning and development.

Our Managing Director, Yvonne Clarke, Director of Operations, Mark Franklin, and our longest-serving employee, Alan Welch from the Be Well Manchester team, were proud to represent Pathways CIC and accept the award from HRH The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, at a wonderful London ceremony.

This national recognition celebrates organisations that place people, growth and development at the heart of what they do and to be recognised alongside such inspiring organisations is truly special.

Last year across the UK there were 776,000 cases of work related stress, depression or anxiety. That’s 46% of all work related ill health and more than half of all working days lost.

It’s clear mental wellbeing at work matters.
By being supportive, we can create healthier, happier, more productive workplaces for everyone.

This week is Stress Awareness Week!
This year’s theme is ‘Optimising Employee Wellbeing through Strategic Stress Management’

Take a moment this week to check in with yourself and your team:
- Talk about how you feel
- Take short breaks throughout the day

Small changes can make a big difference to your wellbeing both at work and beyond.
