Explore our celebrated days across wellbeing.
.Our first Breast & Chest Fest, in collaboration with CoppaFeel! and internal teams, was aimed at encouraging colleagues to perform self-checks. The event featured free bra fittings from the Lingerie team, a showcase of the fundraising range from our Charities team, and an educational session on breast cancer awareness.
A CoppaFeel! Boobette shared her personal story, provided guidance on self-checking and highlighted the charity's free text reminder service. To find out more, please visit our Breast Cancer Awareness page.
.We hosted our first Self Care Day in partnership with Holland & Barrett, featuring expert-led sessions to help colleagues improve their sleep. Attendees enjoyed complimentary drinks and soothing hand massages, with the chance for both on-site and remote staff to win a luxury hamper.
It was an incredible and successful day dedicated to experiencing self-care.
On February 6th, we hosted a drop-in session to encourage open conversations about mental health. With games, healthy treats, and conversation starters, the event aimed to show that talking has the power to change lives and to encourage us all to check in with one another. We want to thank our Mental Health First Aiders who were available for a chat, and for tips on how to offer support to a colleague, please see our Peer to Peer Support page.
To address low UK blood stocks, we welcomed Olivia Ashdowne and the NHS Blood Donation team to our Head Office in Enderby. Colleagues learned about blood donation, registered to give blood, and discovered their blood types. We are proud that 54 NEXT colleagues registered, potentially saving 162 lives.
We encouraged colleagues to discover things that make them feel good, with a special focus on colour. The event featured a talk from Colour by Lily, mindful art sessions, and on-site tote bag printing. We were supported by a wide range of new and returning partners, alongside our internal network groups, who showcased the many benefits available to NEXT employees. For those unable to attend, all information is accessible on the Wellbeing site. We look forward to seeing you at Well Fayre 2026. Check out what activities we had going on!
We embraced creativity and colour with two engaging sessions: a Mindful Art workshop led by artist Kelly Hanks and personal colour analysis consultations with expert Lily Rodd, both designed to help colleagues explore the positive benefits of colour.
