Our Employee Wellbeing Best Practice Group has researched the link between volunteering and how this improves our own wellbeing. There is some excellent research material available to support this link, helping to design a volunteering strategy at an organisational level. The subject of employee volunteering will remain a key agenda point for our BPG in 2025.

What a way to finish off the year!

Graham headed to the Beacon of Light Sunderland to join the Wear Together and Seated Chair Exercise participants for a Christmas bakery event. Graham was also supported by the Greencore Consett Technical Team – a massive thank you to Sara, Sarah and Paulina. The Greencore team also provided the group with an individual Christmas hamper!

What a wholesome experience pairing up and baking Chocolate Tear and Share Christmas Trees. Graham was clear that him and Margaret (his new best friend) clearly produced the best Christmas tree!!

A big thank you to Jade Gilbertson and Daniel Coyne (from the Foundation of Light) for making this happen. We have already started to plan future events around baking and cooking experiences.
