Welcome to Optimism

W+K at The Story Conference

Helen and Iain will be speaking about our wellbeing programme at The Story Conference on the 17th February in London. Just so we’re clear…W+K London’s trial to follow the below guideline is still ongoing. It wasn’t a trial only for last year!

  1. No emails between 7pm and 8am, at weekends and during holidays
  2. Encourage a 40 hour week: 4.30pm finishes on a Friday to make this possible
  3. Hold internal meetings between 10am and 4pm
  4. Introduce a formal day in lieu policy

The Story Conference

You can buy ticket here to attend the event.

St Joseph’s Hospice: What Will You Do?

We’ve made a film for St Joseph’s Hospice in Hackney, our supported charity, to help them recruit new volunteers. In the film we hear from actual volunteers working at St Joseph’s; there are loads of different ways you can get involved and, as the volunteers testify, it is a truly rewarding experience in a place full of life and great people.

They have two open days coming up this Saturday 4th Feb and on Wednesday 8th Feb, where you can go along and find out more about volunteering – you can sign up for these (free) at the below links:
