If you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness
Tim Jackson, Head of Health, Safety, Wellbeing and Sustainability
In a world that often moves at breakneck speed, it’s easy to overlook the importance of taking moments for movement. At the Danny Sullivan Group, we understand the significance of mental health, not just during Mental Health Awareness Week, but every day.
As a leading supplier of skilled labor in the UK, we recognise that the well-being of our workforce is paramount. That’s why we’re committed to promoting a culture that encourages both physical and mental wellness. This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week theme, “Moments for Movement,” resonates deeply with us. We believe that taking the time to move your body is not just a necessity but a fun opportunity to connect with yourself and those around you.
It’s all too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but stopping to ask someone how they are can make a world of difference. And more importantly, it’s not about getting a response, but truly listening to what they have to say. If you’re struggling, we want you to know that it’s okay to reach out. Whether it’s to a friend, a family member, or a professional, there is always someone willing to lend an ear and offer support.
“If you don’t make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness,” Tim Jackson, Head of Health, Safety, Wellbeing and Sustainability. That’s why we encourage everyone to prioritise their mental health, not just during this designated week, but as an ongoing commitment to self-care.
At DSG, we’re dedicated to fostering an environment where mental health is valued and supported. Let’s make movement a part of our daily lives, not just for our physical health, but for the well-being of our minds and bodies. Together, we are creating a culture of care and compassion.

As the Head of Health, Safety, Wellbeing, and Sustainability at DSG, I find it imperative to address the pressing issue of stress, especially during Stress Awareness Month. This year, our focus revolves around the theme #LittleByLittle, emphasising the significance of small steps in managing and alleviating stress.
In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become unavoidable for many. However, by incorporating simple yet effective practices into our daily lives, we can gradually reduce its impact and get back to a healthier mindset.
Here are a few of my top tips to try this month:
At DSG, we are committed to supporting our employees’ mental health and wellbeing. If you or someone you know is struggling with stress, remember that help is always available. Reach out to helplines or seek professional support to navigate through difficult times.
As we observe Stress Awareness Month, let us embrace the #LittleByLittle approach and take proactive steps towards nurturing our mental and emotional wellbeing. Together, we can create a culture of resilience and support, where stress is no longer a barrier but a catalyst for personal growth and transformation.
