About this study

Project Aims:

  • To describe the cost, reach and usage of the Staff Wellbeing Centres
  • To gather insight into experiences of those who access the facility ('service users') as well as those of support workers ('wellbeing buddies').
  • To identify any facilitators, obstacles or barriers to accessing the facility.
  • To identify perceptions of facility users and non-users towards the value of the facilities during and after the coronavirus pandemic.
  • To establish recommendations for longer-term sustainability of the wellbeing centres.

Interviews will be conducted with up to 45 interview participants (10-15 Wellbeing Buddies, 25-30 Staff).
