Whitechapel awarded The Workplace Wellbeing Charter

We are very proud to say The Whitechapel Centre has been awarded The Workplace Wellbeing Charter. 

The Charter is an initiative developed by Liverpool Primary Care NHS Trust which has now been awarded to over 300 businesses and other organisations across Liverpool.

The Charter awards organisations which can demonstrate that they think about the health and general wellbeing of their staff and that they promote a healthy working environment 

In addition to improving health in the workplace, the Charter also acknowledges The Whitechapel Centre’s commitment to best practice in health, safety and  wellbeing which improves our reputation and helps with business development and tendering activity.

This is a huge achievement for us, and was only attained through alot of hard work and organisation.

Hopefully it will also help to encourage all those who use our services to follow the same practices in their everyday lives.

Already we have organised bike rides every week at our Enablement Centre, we have a homeless football team, and any food that we provide has healthy living promoted within it.

Shaun's trials for England - the update - Whitechapel FC captain attends trials

Shaun is a life long Everton supporter, and had never had the opportunity to go to the Manchester United football stadium before, and what an amazing experience he had.

It started at 9am with a tour of Old Trafford, along with 37 other men who had also come for the trials.  

At 12 noon they were all then taken to the Cliff MUFC youth training ground, given a light lunch, and a brand new MUFC football kit. This was followed by a series of bonding exercises,  as there were players from all over the North of England.

Shaun says: "I would like to say what an excellent time, and day I had. We were treated with the upmost respect and as a die hard  Everton fan and this experience has changed my view of Manchester United.  I can not wait  till I go again!"

Shaun has to go back for the next four Thursdays, though he has to miss next Thursday as he on training. He has been told that as he doing  NVQ Level 2 training the fact he has to miss one week wont go against him, so fingers crossed.
