Wellbeing Packages

On average, workers suffering from stress, depression or anxiety take 18.6 sick days off per year (HSE, 2022) however, for every £1 spent on wellbeing, a company will see an average return of £5.30 (Deloitte, 2022)

Time taking notice of and connecting with nature has been proven to help both our physical and mental health and wellbeing. Never before have we had such an appreciation of how important nature is to our wellbeing. Our Wellbeing Packages are designed and delivered by our in-house wellbeing team taking advantage of our own nature reserves and experience of nature.

Our packages have been developed alongside “The 5 Ways to Wellbeing” and will help your staff to strengthen relationships both with each other and with nature.
