Colleagues are being encouraged to take part in activities to improve their mental wellbeing
With a series of activities to support its mental health action plan, the Brightstar Group is marking World Mental Health Day as part of its ongoing commitment to wellbeing and good health.
Throughout the week, team members across the group in both Brightstar and Sirius Property Finance are being encouraged to take part in a variety of activities that could help improve their mental wellbeing, including talk sessions, aromatherapy, at-desk massages, and ‘mentally healthy’ breakfasts.
During 2022, the Brightstar Group was presented with an employer award by the mental health charity SANE for its work in the field of mental health.

“We continue to take mental health and the wellbeing of our people very seriously, and we are using World Mental Health Day to further promote awareness of mental health issues and wellbeing among the team,” Clare Jupp (pictured), group director of people development at Brightstar, said. “Through our talking groups, led by our mental health first aiders, and those who have or who are experiencing depression and other mental health challenges, we hope to build awareness and offer support.
“Across the group, we will also be offering a number of activities to help demonstrate the benefits that exercise, massage and aromatherapy, good diet, and controlling stress can have on mental health.
“We are providing free at-desk massages from Sense Massage Therapy and a nutritious breakfast that includes a range of foods containing antioxidants, B vitamins, selenium, omega 3 and protein – all of which are known to be stress busters and good for the brain.”
