At Kennedys, wellbeing is a top priority, and this October, we're dedicating the month to wellbeing initiatives. In honour of World Mental Health Day (WMHD), we've joined the 'This is Me' campaign, using personal stories to create a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. In our London office, the wellbeing ambassadors teamed up with Claire Mulligan to host this month’s staff social, promoting WMHD. The evening kicked off with a welcome speech from CIO Paul Brotzel, followed by a quiz where the 'Magnificent Seven' team took home the win! Meanwhile, volunteers in the Manchester office organised a wellbeing breakfast, encouraging colleagues to get to know one another. The goal was to foster connections, so that if anyone ever needs support, they'll know who to turn to.

Our team enjoyed connecting with attendees, answering questions, and sharing insights on what it’s like to build a career in this dynamic industry.
