On Time to Talk Day, Leeds Mindful Employer Network Coordinator, Leigh Staunton, spoke with Col about his own mental health, mental health in the workplace and ensuring Few and Far provides a safe space for it’s employees to be open on the topic of mental wellbeing.

Colin and Leigh talk about the role an employer plays in supporting staff wellbeing and the importance of promoting open conversations about mental health in the workplace.

Here’s a small excerpt from the interview:

“We can’t put our all into helping good causes if we don’t strive to be the best employers and business that we can be – it’s a contradiction.

Ensuring we provide a positive and inclusive working environment, where being able to talk openly about your mental health is welcomed is massively important to us; it allows our staff to be the best they possibly can be at their role, and when their role can fundamentally help a good cause that supports people with their own mental health and wellbeing, it makes for perfect synchronicity.”
