Wellbeing Learning Opportunities
There are lots of learning opportunities that are available to the VCSE workforce across to increase knowledge and skills around supporting wellbeing but we know these are sometimes hard to come by and to find the capacity to research them is difficult.
We wanted to make it easier for the sector to be able to see what’s available and be able to easily take up opportunities that you may find useful. Therefore, we have done some research and here, we have listed all the free learning opportunities we know about that will support you to look after your own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.

The Every Woman Promise advocates for women’s health in the workplace, addressing the prevalent taboos around issues such as menstrual health, cervical screening, contraception, pregnancy, and menopause. Despite women and individuals with gynaecological organs forming over half of the UK workforce, 65% feel uncomfortable discussing health matters at work. The initiative urges employers to commit to supporting women’s health, offering the Every Woman Promise programme fully subsidized for small and medium-sized organisation until early 2025.
By embracing the Every Woman Promise, employers can enable proactive health management, encourage attendance at crucial health appointments, educate staff on gynaecological health and cancers, and foster an open environment. Benefits for partners include an informative talk, access to a nurse-led information service, a resource library, recognition, and ongoing support.
