Members Wellbeing - Time to ACT on your own wellbeing?

Resources to support the most important people in our network, You! The local wellbeing workforce.

We believe that those who work and volunteer in our area doing great work around wellbeing put in a lot of time and effort, often working beyond the call of duty to empower others. What we don’t always see is enough of those people deciding to ACT on their own self-care and kindness to themselves. We want to change that. We also think that changing work culture, passes down to our own local communities and those we work with in the ethos we all demonstrate.

Members wellbeing then is about you, our paid or unpaid workforce. We seek resources and constantly share several pieces of work for the South Tees workforce to ACT on their wellbeing needs, do that inner work and start that personal growth and mental wellbeing improvement journey. Some is written or linked throughout our site, digital for sharing and accessing in your own way or some face to face offerings for our network members; and sometimes, their friends and families.

We will be inviting all providers from our now completed ‘Saturday Wellness Taster Sessions) and network members to a celebration event in Spring 2026 to meet the wellbeing providers, touching base to take up your own choices to invest in your future health and wellbeing. This event will also launch phase two of our popular libraries programme, Books for Wellbeing. It will also host the final opportunity to get a network wellbeing journal and attend a one hour introduction to journaling workshop at the event.

Watch our e-mails and calls to action and socials to book your place when we launch the event booking.

Check back regularly and join up to hear about new initiatives you can ACT on as we develop and work with our partners to offer those exclusive places.
