For the fifth consecutive year, Freebridge Community Housing employees took part in a highly successful Week of Wellbeing.
The week, which is designed to promote and encourage wellbeing, saw Freebridge employees from across the company take part in an array of activities with knitting, creative writing, guitar lessons and coaching and mentoring comprising just a small part of the list of events on offer.
The week, which took place from 16th- 20thMay, is designed to promote and support the six strands of wellbeing – Career, Physical, Mental, Social, Economic and Community Wellbeing – for its employee team of over 200 people.
While many of the week’s events were run by Freebridge employees a host of local organisations and businesses, including Paul Johnson Motors, Caffe Nero, King’s Lynn Corn Exchange, Snettisham Park, The Maltings Q Club, Strikes and Planet Zoom also lent their support.
Local businesses generously donated prizes for a charity fundraising raffle. Proceeds will be going to East Anglian Air Ambulance, Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and King’s Lynn Samaritans, who are all Freebridge chosen charities for 2016.
Michelle Gant, Director of Engagement at Freebridge, said: “At Freebridge we are committed to improving the wellbeing of our staff. This week affords employees the opportunity to learn new skills that we hope will have a positive impact in both their work and personal lives.
“It is our belief that by looking after the wellbeing of our workforce we can provide a better service for all our tenants, who remain at the heart of everything we do at Freebridge.
“The support that has been offered by local businesses has been greatly appreciated, many of the activities offered would not be possible without their efforts.”
