Active Wellbeing in Civil Service World
For more than a decade Civil Service World (CSW) has kept all civil servants from across the spectrum up to date and informed on what’s happening across government, from people to policies.
And so, we’re delighted to share with you their recent article on this years’ Active Wellbeing, encouraging greater participation across the Service with the help of Adam Land, Senior Director at the Competition and Markets Authority.
Mental health Champion, Adam Land, heads up the Remedies Business and Financial Analysis group at the Competition and Markets Authority and has long been an advocate for the benefits of physical activity on mental health. Adam writes and talks extensively on his experiences of health and wellbeing having trained for and competed in the London Duathlon and appearing at the ‘This Can Happen’ conference speaking on his personal experiences of returning to work after a sudden bereavement.
Adam’s encouragement to join Active Wellbeing 2023 (AW23) is well received and a welcome endorsement of a ’vital and fun initiative’, which we hope will entice more people than ever before to take part and to get more active.
