College staff wellbeing prioritised with help from Joe Wicks

6th March 2025

Staff from Solihull College & University Centre have taken part in Joe Wicks’ Movement Hour. 

The initiative was created by the Body Coach for companies across the UK to commit to giving employees an hour away from their working day to prioritise their physical and mental health.

Principal Dr Rebecca Gater comments: I chose to join a group walk around our local park. It was a beautiful day, and it felt great to get some fresh air, soak up the sunshine, and have non-work-related conversations with colleagues from different departments.”
