💙 Ripples Team Fun Fact 💙

Rae can do the Cats Cradle and Jacob’s Ladder in record time – no tangled strings here! 🧵👏

Her quick hands and focus turn this nostalgic childhood game into pure art. It’s a fun reminder that playfulness and concentration can go hand in hand… even at work! Keeping wellbeing light-hearted and full of smiles is what we’re all about. 💫

🌿 Self Care Week 2025 🌿

Self-care doesn’t have to mean big gestures or luxury spa days.
Sometimes it’s found in the small moments – a quiet coffee, a walk in nature, taking a few deep breaths before starting your day.

It’s about checking in with yourself, showing kindness to your mind and body, and creating space for calm in the chaos.

💭 What do you do for self-care? We’d love to hear the small moments that make a big difference for you.

🎗️ Movember – Changing the Face of Men’s Health 🎗️

This November, we’re standing with the global movement called Movember Foundation - a charity dedicated to tackling the biggest health issues facing men: mental health & su***de prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Why it matters:

Every day, men are waiting too long to talk about how they feel.
uk.movember.com

Movember isn’t just about moustaches — it’s about sparking conversations and taking action.
ebsco.com

Together, we can build awareness, drive change and support men to live healthier, longer lives.

Let’s grow the “Mo”, start the conversation, check in with the men in our lives and break the stigma.
