Wellbeing in Action at Brighter Futures!

Yesterday, over 20 members of our team came together for a truly restorative and empowering Staff Wellbeing Day, generously funded by the Jersey Community Foundation through the Supporting the Supporter Fund.

The morning was led by the brilliant Dr Julie Luscombe/ People Like Me Coaching and Training Consultancy, who shared powerful insights and tools to help us

• Focus our energy on what we can control and influence
• Respond rather than react to emotional triggers
• Make small, intentional changes to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue (with no boiled frogs)

In the afternoon, Kazz from Wild Adventures Jersey guided us on an inspiring foraging walk to identify wild edible and medicinal plants, followed by a hands-on bushcraft session lighting fires with flint and steel, building campfires, and of course… toasting marshmallows in the sunshine!

It was a joyful, grounding, and energising day that reminded us how vital it is to care for those who care for others. This funding made a real difference to the wellness and morale of our team, thank you from all of us at Brighter Futures
