The Healthwatch Salford team enjoy a wellbeing walk at Rivington.
For July's wellbeing morning, the team met up at Rivington for a walk and picnic, joined by our Engagement Officer Mark's horse, Ben. Ben is a Fell Pony, and he did a great job at carrying the team's picnic along the route and provided a calming influence along the walk.
During the walk, Mark taught the team about horses and Fell Ponies, and at the end of the picnic, the team had a short quiz to complete to see if they could remember any of those facts. And to fit the theme of the walk, rosettes were handed out to everyone who took part!
It's very important that as a team we take time away from our desks to meet and talk about subjects that may have nothing to do with our roles. At Healthwatch Salford we listen to people's feedback and experiences of health and social care, which can sometimes be emotionally challenging for the team. Taking time out of our working day to do an activity unrelated to the work that we do not only helps the team bond, but also creates a positive work culture that promotes employee wellbeing and gives the team an opportunity to share what may be happening in their lives outside of work.
We're always looking for new activities for our wellbeing mornings. Do you have a suggestion? Get in touch:
