Investment in Social Care Workforce Wellbeing

Join partners from across Greater Manchester for a shared learning event exploring both community and cross-sector lenses on the importance of workforce wellbeing and its connection to physical activity and movement.

We know some groups are more likely to be inactive than others, completing less than 30 minutes of moderate physical activity a week. Embedding movement and physical activity into health and social care is one way we can help change this.

Building on a previous shared learning events on Enabling Workforce Engagement in Person-Centred Social Care and Championing Link Roles & Context in Person-Centred Social Care, this follow-up session will bring together partners from across Greater Manchester. Together, we'll learn about the cost of not considering workforce wellbeing, how organisations can adapt their approaches and how training and development can play a role in modelling and normalising new behaviours.

Led by Lauren Coulman, founder of Noisy Cricket, this session will bring together community groups, partners, and leaders to look at how speaking up for movement and physical activity can help secure more investment in workforce wellbeing.
