Health & Wellbeing Champions
What is a Health and Wellbeing Champion?
Health and Wellbeing Champions are individuals working in any role and at any level. They are passionate about health and wellbeing and are keen to support the wellbeing of their colleagues.
Health and Wellbeing Champions are not counsellors or mental health first aiders. They raise awareness of support, activities and events available to colleagues from within their organisation, as well as more widely within Gloucestershire, online and nationally.
How will this benefit my team?
Health and Wellbeing Champions help to ensure staff wellbeing is regularly thought about alongside the usual business of the team. Health and Wellbeing Champions support the team by sharing information and ideas about how to look after their wellbeing, and may even organise some activities to bring everyone in the team together.
Are you interested in workplace health and wellbeing? Become a Health and Wellbeing Champion!
Some of the activities Champions have shared so far are:
- wellbeing walks
- virtual walks/steps challenges
- recipes of the month and virtual cook-a-longs
- and many more!
Other Champions have created wellbeing noticeboards with uplifting quotes, funny images and helpful information. The role is all about creative ideas!
What support will I receive as a Health and Wellbeing Champion?
As well as being supported by your own organisation, you will also be supported by The Wellbeing Line and will be part of a large group of Health and Wellbeing Champions working within health and social care in Gloucestershire. As part of this wider peer support network, you will be able to exchange ideas and resources and will have access to training and other CPD opportunities. You will also be able to attend the annual Health and Wellbeing Champions event, which is a celebration of all you have achieved and a wellbeing “treat” for you too.
