Wellbeing at Sport England

Physical, mental, emotional and financial wellbeing is a priority, and our employee assistance programme (EAP) is available to provide support to our employees and their immediate family whenever they may need it to stay healthy and happy. Via our EAP, our employees have access to in the moment support and a range of other services, including structured counselling and a digital platform. We encourage all staff to embrace this valuable resource.

Sport England is a Mindful Employer, a national initiative supporting employers to take a positive approach towards mental health at work. By signing the Mindful Employer Charter, we have made a public declaration of our ambition to support the mental wellbeing of our staff.

Our trained Mental Health First Aiders provides initial, non-judgemental support, working alongside Mental Health Champions who help us build a healthier culture more broadly. We also provide mental health awareness training for managers and staff, plus regular wellbeing webinars.
