Thank You WELL Champions

As part of Volunteers’ Week 2026, we want to take a moment to recognise and thank our WELL Champions across the Northern Ireland Civil Service.

Our WELL Champions play a vital role in supporting the health and wellbeing of colleagues. Alongside their day jobs, they give their time, energy and commitment to promote wellbeing initiatives, share important information and encourage positive conversations across their teams and directorates.

Through their efforts, staff across NICS are better informed about the wide range of health and wellbeing support available from mental health resources and physical activity initiatives to awareness campaigns throughout the year. Whether it’s signposting services, organising events, or simply checking in with colleagues, WELL Champions help make wellbeing visible and accessible to everyone.

Volunteers’ Week is an opportunity to recognise the impact of volunteering in all its forms. The contribution of our WELL Champions is a great example of how taking small actions can lead to meaningful change across the organisation.

Their work helps create a more supportive, inclusive and healthier working environment for all staff.

Thank you to all our WELL Champions for the difference you make every day.
