Lowestoft Wellbeing Awareness Week

Next week, Operations Manager Kizzy Davis and the team at Lowestoft will be hosting Wellbeing Awareness Week. It is a fantastic initiative designed by Kizzy to highlight the importance of wellbeing for service users and the critical role her team plays in supporting vulnerable individuals they encounter daily. 

Kizzy is incredibly proud of how her team adds value through genuine care for service users. Because of this, she devised this initiative to formalise their approach and build on their existing efforts, leading to the creation of Wellbeing Awareness Week.

Throughout the week, the team will engage in talks and discussions aimed at recognising the signs that someone may need support. They’ll also learn about local organisations and resources available to which service users can be directed. To prepare for the week, Kizzy has been building connections with local charities and support organisations to strengthen links and has compiled a comprehensive information pack for her Field Service Engineers.

The 11-page booklet includes guidance from the Fire and Rescue Service, NHS England, and the National Police Chiefs’ Council, as well as details of local food banks and other support networks.

We look forward to hearing how the week unfolds and fully support the action and care being taken by Kizzy and the entire team at Lowestoft. Their dedication to improving the lives of others is inspiring and deeply appreciated.
