&�Բ�����;✨ Special Guest: Sarah Johnson – Mini Reiki Sessions

Alongside the café, Sarah will be offering short Reiki sessions, combined with simple mindfulness and breathing techniques. These gentle, non-invasive practices are designed to help ease stress and anxiety, promote deep relaxation, and support overall wellbeing.

Reiki works holistically, focusing on the whole person rather than individual symptoms, helping the body move into a calm, restful state.

Come for a conversation, a moment of calm, or simply to listen and take whatever you need from the space.

Menopause Awareness Training 

We’re pleased to be developing menopause awareness sessions to support staff wellbeing across the organisation. From April 2026, we plan to offer two dedicated sessions:

• Menopause Awareness for All Staff – to build understanding, reduce stigma, and encourage open, supportive conversations.

• Menopause Awareness for Managers – focused on how managers can provide appropriate, sensitive support in the workplace and create an inclusive working environment.

Details, including dates and how to book, will be shared via our staff wellbeing events calendar. Please keep an eye on upcoming wellbeing events for further information.
