We’re redoubling our efforts to do what we can to look after and support our people, and have linked up with Time to Change Wales – a national campaign to end mental health stigma and discrimination in Wales.

To coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week, we've signed the Time to Change Employers’ Pledge and have committed to ensuring our colleagues’ mental wellbeing is at the core of everything we do at Niche.

Due to imposed restrictions due to COVID-19, the event took place virtually and was attended by the whole team within the Niche group. Also present was Alan Flowers - mental health trainer at Bee Well - a company we've worked closely with to develop our mental health and wellbeing provisions.

Time to Change Wales were represented by Community Engagement Officer Rachelle Bright, who offered a useful insight in to the work the campaign does to fight mental health stigma and discrimination in the workplace. The main segment of the session was delivered by Alex Osborne, a volunteer Champion for Time to Change Wales. She talked candidly about her own experiences of anxiety and depression in a highly emotive talk.

Niche's HR & Compliance Director Tom Roberts then took to the screen to sign the pledge itself, and concluded by saying, "I'm incredibly happy to be signing the pledge and commit to doing a lot more of what we've already been doing - and that is being prepared to talk about mental health in the workplace."
