The initiative supports HSE’s working minds campaign, which promotes good mental health and stress prevention in workplaces.
The event aims to encourage conversation and reduce stigma around mental health, with this year’s theme being ‘community’.

The study found 70% of employers agreed workplaces have a responsibility to look after mental health.
The retreat is part of Pepper Money’s ‘Be More You’ campaign, focusing on practical self-care, mindfulness, and discussions on the challenges brokers face.

Adrian Criddle said: “This recognition reflects our dedication to creating a workplace where all employees feel supported and valued."

The scheme aims to raise employment standards, improve job quality and support economic growth in Blackpool.
