Health and happiness

It is very important to consider the emotional wellbeing of ourselves and others. We have lots of help, guidance and support available.

Below, we have three ways you can seek support if you need to. Remember, you are not alone. Be kind to yourself. Make the most of our resources and let someone know if you’re struggling and need some help.

To help support your wellbeing, we have set up some online learning sessions which cover different topics. You can find out more about these upcoming sessions below.

If you would like to join any of these sessions, please email learning.team@sueryder.org to register, or speak to your line manager who can help you book a place.

Here, we have guidance, advice and further resources to help you manage your financial wellbeing.

We have created five new financial wellbeing guidance sheets, which you are welcome download, or print and keep. These cover the following topics:

• Budgeting
• Financial wellbeing and mental health
• What to do if you can’t pay your bills
• Help with food
• Help save fuel

We hope these financial tools and tips will help to support colleagues navigating through the cost-of-living crisis.

If you need further support, help and advice is available from a range of external organisations, including:

• MoneyHelper  – free and impartial help with money, on topics ranging from how to make a budget, to how to manage different bills and payments. 
• Citizens Advice – guidance around debt and money, including advice around mortgage problems, debt management and how to get your finances back on track.
• StepChange's Online Debt Advice Tool - Receive debt support by email or text, helping you take the first steps towards resolving money concerns you have, with a budget plan and personal action plan.
• StepChange's Money Health Check - Answer a few simple questions for bespoke financial advice to help you understand what to do next.

At Sue Ryder, we believe grief deserves better. We want the nation to open up about death and grief. Together we can make sure no one faces death or grief alone.
