Mental Health Awareness Week 2024

At Outer Temple Chambers, we understand the importance of mental health and our wellbeing, and work hard to support colleagues in the workplace.

Since 2001, the Mental Health Foundation has been leading ‘Mental Health Awareness Week’, with the theme this year being ‘movement: moving more for our mental health’.

Every year we participate in this week and this year, in line with its theme, we have organised a variety of activities for both our barristers and support teams to encourage movement and exercise. Outer Temple’s Mental Health Awareness Week has included a wellness breakfast, guided yoga and meditation by Gillian Evans, a lunchtime walk and more.

With the aim to encourage everyone to be more active in their daily routines, and to move more, we set up a Step Count Challenge from 13th – 19th May whereby the team would download the app, compete for the highest step count each day, and the highest weekly step count won a fabulous spa prize. Congratulations to our winner, Lucy Lee who won the Step Count Challenge and our second and third runner-ups Jana Danekova and Stuart Haynes, who were awarded wellness hampers.

A big thanks to all those who took part and donated to the Mental Health Foundation.

Let’s keep moving!
