We are so pleased to have been part of this year's Leicester Business Festival. Last Friday, we welcomed a number of businesses to join us at Bradgate Mental Health Unit for a networking session focusing on mental wellness in the workplace.
We had professionals join us from a variety of industries including retail, construction, hospitality and the legal profession. It was fantastic to have such candid conversations around mental wellness, organisational wellbeing and strategies to support staff.
The session was organised both Magdalena Korytkowska, Raising Health's Fundraising Manager and Charlotte Harris, LPT's Health and Wellbeing Lead who led the discussion and provided tips to attendees on workplace wellbeing.
In addition to sharing expertise, the session was a great opportunity to provide some information about our live fundraising appeals including the 'Raise a smile for Christmas Appeal' helping us to brighten up the festive period for our inpatients.
"We were thrilled to launch our Mind-Fit Workforce networking initiative during this year's Leicester Business Festival! A heartfelt thank you to the organisers for including us in the programme—it was an incredible opportunity to share our expertise on mental health and wellbeing while connecting with local businesses dedicated to fostering supportive and thriving work environments.
The event provided a valuable platform to discuss shared challenges and solutions, and we’re excited to keep the conversation going at future events. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and showed their support—you made the day truly memorable. We can’t wait to see you again and welcome new faces to the journey ahead!
