Mental Health & Wellbeing Update and Festivals this month

Last week, we brought together OurCoop Mental Health Champions and Wellbeing Champions for the first time - a great opportunity to connect colleagues from across our family of businesses and reflect on the many ways we support colleague wellbeing.

The session gave us the chance to share ideas, look at how we can continue building on the support already in place, and explore how we can be there even more for colleagues across OurCoop. We were also joined by EveryMind at Work, who helped us understand how we can continue embedding wellbeing support across our business.

OurCoop Mental Health & Wellbeing Champions

Thank you to all our champions who attended - it was inspiring to see such a passionate and supportive group of colleagues come together. The safe and open space created throughout the session allowed colleagues to share what motivates them to support others, and it was clear just how much our champions care about colleague wellbeing.

We’ll make sure to keep you updated as we continue to move forward and for mental health and wellbeing support, please contact GroceryAid, or visit our Wellbeing page for further information here.

Happy Eid al-Adha and Vesak

This month, colleagues across OurCoop may be celebrating or observing Eid al-Adha and Vesak - important occasions for Muslim and Buddhist communities around the world.

Both celebrations are a time for reflection, compassion, generosity and connection with others, and we’d like to wish everyone marking these occasions a peaceful and meaningful time with family, friends and loved ones.
