Wellbeing Through Play: A Look Hadley Sports Day 2025
A collaborative team culture and supporting employee wellbeing are essential to what we do at Hadley. As part of our Summer Wellbeing Programme, the team recently headed to Brentford for Sports Day, organised by our wellbeing provider SoWell.
Split into two teams, the day began with a local trivia and challenge-based hunt, with riddles leading them to key landmarks and even some random acts of kindness (like gifting flowers to a stranger).
Alongside individual support for our staff, we prioritise bringing the team together for lighthearted, relaxed activities. This year, we have had the pleasure of working alongside Dionne Reid of Kid In You, who facilitated the afternoon of sports and games at our 980 Great West Road site. Rooted in an ethos of encouraging adults to rediscover the joy of play, Kid In You helps colleagues to step away from day-to-day responsibilities whilst sparking communication, connection and creativity.
Play and mindfulness are at the heart of everything I do. I believe in the importance of diversifying healing, and this is my contribution.
We value these opportunities to take a break from our desks and collaborate in new ways as a team. Thank you to SoWell and Kid In You for organising the day and bringing us together to recharge and have fun!
