Today is World Mental Health Day.

Being active isn’t only about physical fitness. Regular movement can support our mood, help manage stress, improve sleep and give us opportunities to connect with other people.

It doesn’t need to be about hitting targets or pushing yourself harder every time, either. A swim, a gym session, a class or just making some time to move can all be positive ways to support your mental and physical health.

There’s no ONE right way to look after your mental health. Today is a reminder to check in with yourself, and with the people around you. 🫶

Congratulations to Sam, our latest Employee Recognition Award winner! 👏

Sam is one of our lifeguards at Droitwich Spa Leisure Centre and has been recognised for his fantastic work, his positive approach with customers and the public, and for always being willing to help when it matters.

During the fires this summer, Sam also stepped up to support at Pershore Leisure Centre when local residents were evacuated to the centre. He played a big part in helping the team respond and support those who needed somewhere safe to go.

A very well deserved recognition for going above and beyond, both in his day to day role and when the local community needed support.

Well done, Sam! 💪🤩
