SWIPE FOR THE BEFORE & AFTER ➡️🤩

Well done Karen and the team of staff and volunteers at DC, Big C Cancer Charity have created a Wellbeing Garden and what a garden it is, a lovely space you've created for both your staff and nature 🪴🏵️

With beautiful flowers 🌺, greenery and garden ornaments, it is a haven for those looking for a relaxing lunch break, a bright and colourful meeting or just a little breather 🌈☀️

'The colours, birdsong, peace, smiles, and laughter are great to hear and see. If sitting in the garden has provided just one person with pleasure on a difficult day, then that has achieved its purpose. We also have a competition going on at the moment for the Biggest Sunflower' 🌻- Karen, DC Manager at The Big C.

Well done, it is lovely, and we look forward to having future meetings with you in this garden 😍

Mental Health Awareness Week starts today 🧠💚

In a recent survey conducted by the Mental Health Foundation, a quarter of adults said that they felt so anxious, it stopped them from doing the things they want to do some, or all of the time 😔

Anxiety is the most common mental health condition people experience & every experience is different & unique. It can affect a person’s life severely & make other pre-existing conditions much worse. No one has to go through this alone so spreading awareness is key 🔑

If your workplace is experiencing high levels of anxiety & stress, please get in touch 📞📧🗣️

Unfortunately many of us will witness a cardiac event in our lifetime. To help us be prepared, should that day come, the team at Thriving Workplaces took part in CPR training 🫀 as part of Thrive Tribe's partnership with the The BHF. The training ‘RevivR, is an online course that takes only 15 minutes to complete. All you need is your phone 📱 & a firm cushion to practice compressions on 🙇🏻‍♀️

As the training is so quick & easy to complete, we decided to complete it as a team in the office! You can access this fab and free training here: https://www.bhf.org.uk/how-you-can-help/how-to-save-a-life/how-to-do-cpr/learn-cpr-in-15-minutes 😃
