Welcome to Jumpstart January!
WELL and nicssa have come together to bring you Jumpstart January; our month-long health and wellbeing campaign designed to energise, inspire and support you as we kick off the new year together.
January is the perfect time to reset, refocus, and recharge. Whether you're looking to boost your physical fitness, improve your mental wellbeing or simply make healthier choices; this campaign is here to help you take that first step.
Throughout the month, we’ll be offering a range of activities, events and resources to support your wellbeing including Steps2Fitness challenge and Wellness Wednesday Workshops. There’ll be plenty of opportunities to get involved, connect with colleagues and even win some great prizes along the way.
