ππ Happy 3rd Birthday, MindGreen! ππ
This week we're celebrating three years of MindGreen and the incredible community that has grown around it.
What started with a simple call from our CEO, Gary Headland, for volunteers to form a committee has become a movement dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of our staff and students across Activate Learning.
In the past three years, MindGreen has:
π Raised more than Β£42,000
π± Reinvested over Β£34,000 into wellbeing resources and activities.
But MindGreen is about so much more than fundraising. It's about people coming together with a shared purpose to make a positive difference across our campuses.
A huge thank you to everyone who has volunteered, donated, partnered with us, shared their expertise or supported MindGreen along the way.
We'd also like to give a special thank you to our fantastic MindGreen staff and student ambassadors, whose passion and commitment help bring wellbeing initiatives to life across our colleges.
Happy third anniversary to everyone who has played a part in inspiring our learners, apprentices and staff through purpose and wellbeing.
Here's to Year 4! π
