The Hull FC Community Foundation is making an impact on local members of NHS staff by providing free wellness sessions over a 28-day period.
Throughout January, the Community Foundation and NHS Humber Trust are linking up, with Hull FC’s qualified coaches delivering some exciting sessions to members of staff.
The project is called the 28 Days To Wellbeing Challenge, with the Community Foundation delivering sessions on Monday afternoons, offering support, guidance and motivation. That’s on top of advising on ways to monitor, maintain and improve physical and mental wellbeing.
The project got underway on Monday lunchtime, with the FC Community Foundation hosting a virtual session via Microsoft Teams, allowing members of staff from different locations to log on and join in!
Running for just 20 minutes, participants require a safe space to exercise and some water to keep hydrated – our Community Foundation team will look after the rest!
All you need is 20 minutes, a safe space to exercise and some water to keep hydrated. We will also be recording the 4 weekly exercise sessions so you can join in live or use the videos as part of any wellbeing goals you may have.

One participant at Monday’s session said: “The best dinner break I’ve had in a while,” whilst another participant commented: “Thank you for that – it’s energised me for the rest of the week!”
Maisie Malton, who is the Community Foundation’s Head of Health & Wellbeing, said: “It’s incredibly rewarding for us to be showing our appreciation for all of the work the NHS do for us by providing these free wellness sessions.
“We completely understand all of the stresses and pressures that can come with working for the NHS, so I think it is fantastic that we can link up with them to offer our support for just 20 minutes per week.”
