Timeout’s Wellness Programme

Timeout’s Wellness Programme: Putting Our Staff First

At Timeout, we’ve always believed that looking after our staff is just as important as the care we provide for the children who rely on us. That’s why, at the start of 2025, we launched our dedicated wellness programme. With mental wellbeing at its heart, the programme is designed to support our incredible team throughout the year with a variety of activities and events.

Led by our brilliant wellness team, Georgina and Vicky, the programme offers something for everyone—from cooking classes to yoga workshops, seminars to adrenaline-fuelled challenges. It’s all about creating opportunities for our staff to relax, recharge, and connect with one another.

Kicking Off the Year

We’re starting the year with a bang (or should we say a splash?) as Wayne Traynor, an experienced fitness enthusiast, leads an invigorating ice-cold dip. It’s the perfect way to shake off the winter cobwebs and embrace the year ahead with a fresh mindset.

Next month, we’ll be hosting a yoga workshop in our tranquil training room—a chance to stretch, breathe, and find a moment of calm amidst the hustle and bustle.

What’s in Store for 2026

There’s plenty more to look forward to as the year unfolds. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming up:

• Total Warrior Challenge: 30 members of the Timeout family will take on the epic assault course in Leeds. It’s muddy, it’s tough, and it’s guaranteed to be a day to remember!

• 10km Run: For our ambitious runners, this is the perfect opportunity to lace up your trainers and hit the ground running.

• Cooking Lessons: Joel, our talented head chef, will be hosting cooking classes in the Brearley Hall kitchens. Learn how to whip up healthy, delicious meals to enjoy at home.

• Forest School Class: Julia, our amazing forest school expert, will be leading a session in the beautiful woodlands on the Brearley Hall grounds. It’s a chance to reconnect with nature and learn something new.

• Health Screening Day: Organised through our health insurance provider, WPA, this is all about helping our team stay on top of their health and wellbeing.

Making the Most of Our Amenities

We’re incredibly lucky to have such fantastic amenities on-site, and we’re making the most of them to create a wellness programme that truly benefits our staff. Whether it’s a moment of mindfulness in a yoga class or the thrill of crossing the finish line in a 10km run, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

At Timeout, we’re more than just a team—we’re a family. And this wellness programme is our way of saying thank you to the dedicated carers and staff who make Timeout what it is.

Here’s to a year of wellness, togetherness, and plenty of fun along the way. I will be documenting the year ahead and will be sharing our activities on Timeout's ness page!
