One Team Government is a community of people who are passionate about building better public services to improve people’s lives. The community’s aim is to improve public service and ways of working in the public sector by breaking boundaries between people.

Sharing and learning with others is a moral imperative, because everyone deserves to have effective and accessible public services. That’s why we’re holding OneTeamGov Wellbeing Camp.

It is an opportunity to share knowledge, experiences, ideas and practice around wellbeing. We’re working on the content of the day but there will be talks, demos, workshops and safe spaces to hold more personal conversations.

The event will look in more detail at inclusion and the impact this can have on our wellbeing. We are all human. Inclusion is about you, me, and all of us; it is about belonging, purpose and wellbeing. This is One Team Gov’s commitment to creating a safe space to start this conversation.Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

Key speakers include: Kevin Filby of the The Charity for Civil Servants on Digital wellbeing, Dawn Edwards on Mental Wellbeing, Fresh Air Friday on Mindfulness and Active Listening, Tia Shafee on Neurodiversity,Cecilia Da Forno on Resilience, Natasha Wallace on Thought Leadership, and more.

Our sessions will include Laughter Therapy, Meditation 101, Sketch noting, Yoga  and more.

We'll have Cafe conversations on Inclusion, raise awareness of intersex people and the issues they face and Suzie Baines on "We Grow through what we go through".

Neighbourhood market stalls include, A:gender, Civil Service Sports Council, Mind...your own business, Team Chaffinch A-Z to Better Wellbeing to name a few.

We also have a quiet room if you'd like a space to breathe, relax and take in the day.

By the end of the event the attendees will:

• Learn and share good practice and the tools, education, and learning available on wellbeing and self-care.
• Engage with existing networks and connected with the One Team Gov community.
• Receive support to help you create an environment where people are ready to bring their whole selves to work.
• Explore your triggers and successful techniques for becoming more comfortable with change and uncertainty.
• Learn how to balance getting your teams to perform more for less, understand the impact and collaborate to take a fresh look at your situation.

We understand that taking a day out of a work week is a big ask especially a lot of our colleagues up North/North East are in Operations.

So we recommend for colleagues who are able to/would like to attend, to come and join us even for a session or two as part of their 5 day learning.
