The Indispensary Limited
Stress relief for charity leaders I www.theindispensary.co.uk
Last week we took another step closer to the rebrand, with some final tweaks and I am hopeful that this week we will be in a position to start preparing all of our materials and ordering some goodies with our new branding on!? It was a good week, not only because the sun has finally shown its face in Devon, but because I also attended a special lunch with the organisers of the Exeter University Employment Awards 2024.? The event was attended by sponsors and judges of the awards, and I am excited to share that this year I was asked to be on the judging panel, this was such an honour and it was so wonderful to read all of the incredible things that students have been doing whilst placed in local businesses.???More news on the awards below!

Tip for the week
Mid Life MOT As the UK workforce gets older, it is vital for employers that employees in their 40s and 50s have the tools and confidence to manage their finances, skills, and health. A considerable proportion of the UK workforce are not prepared well enough for their future and the right support, guidance and planning tools could improve their financial, work and wellbeing outcomes. The Mid Life MOT is designed to support all employers, from self-employed individuals, micro-businesses and SME’s to larger organisations. This funded support is for employees in Devon aged between 44-56.?Find out more. Thanks to Heart of the South West Growth Hub for this week's tip.
