ICS Staff Wellbeing Opportunities Summer 2024 - Breathe

ICS Staff Wellbeing Opportunities Summer 2024

Fri 10 May

Breathe are excited to be continuing our dynamic range of arts-based workshops this summer to support health and social care staff wellbeing, commissioned by South East London Integrated Care System (ICS).
“My feedback can only be 10/10 for these classes! It’s the reason I’m excited to have to go to work. It helps socialising with other co-workers in a scenario that we would probably never find ourselves in, we laugh like crazy, we exercise and learn new things… these hours make my headache disappear!”
