Wellbeing area

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Charity and NHS Charities Together have funded dedicated staff wellbeing spaces and the Redditch wellbeing space can be found within the Library area within the Arafa Education Centre.

We recognise that it is really important for you to have easy access to a calm and quiet space if you are faced with difficult circumstances at work or if you are feeling stressed, anxious or in need of some time alone to recharge.
