Our staff are our greatest asset and we want to support them to stay active, feel good and have fun with their family.
We know that getting to the gym and enjoying regular exercise has been more difficult due to the lockdown and ongoing public health regulations. That’s why we’re delighted to announce that our staff can now access DoingOurBit – a free online fitness platform which offers an exclusive range of workouts from yoga to HIIT training, family fitness to relaxation sessions. Every workout has been donated by a qualified instructor exclusively for health and social care staff.
Not only is the #DoingOurBit platform an ideal way to get active, it carries no cost to staff. There is a variety of options so everyone is bound to find something they enjoy from their comfort of their own home.
To find out more watch our video about the initiative.
