Here at Ynot Aspire we know how important it is to look after our Mental Health & Wellbeing. It’s something that we work on with young people all the time. But, in order to make sure we can give the best of ourselves, we have to remember to look after our own mental health and wellbeing too. As the saying goes – ‘you can’t pour from an empty cup’.
With this in mind, this week we got the chance to take our work away from the office and have an ‘away day’ at Bowley Scout Camp and Activity Centre. Having the chance to all be together for a length of time is a rare event. We were fortunate enough to have a lovely sunny day, and we all know how important it is to keep our Vitamin D topped up. Just walking outside and looking up at the sky is enough to give your sense of wellbeing a boost. Getting out and about in the sunshine, greenery and fresh air was the boost we all needed. The activities were great fun. It wasn’t about being ‘good’ at the tasks – it was about ‘taking part’. Needless to say we all had many laughs along the way. We also wrote letters of appreciation for other members of the team, letting them know how great they are and how much we love working with them. The day helped us to bond more as a team, refill our cups and gave us the opportunity to do some planning for the months ahead.
The team came up with some great ideas for some future projects, watch out for further news on these.
Thanks to our CO Sharon Hendrie from all The Team for organising everything – we all really appreciate it.
Looking forward to the next one!
