AWP

We recently spent the afternoon at Escot House, Devon for a series of team building activities led by Paul Mattin from Wilderness Solutions.

Despite the temperamental weather, everyone got fully involved in a range of challenges, from blindfolded obstacle courses to building catapults that launch water balloons!

We ended the day by evaluating what works well and identifying opportunities for growth in our teams (along with a delicious BBQ🍖🍴)

It is Mental Health Awareness Week, and this week the team took part in some activities to support positive wellbeing:
🌿Pick Your Plant Monday – every team member chose a desk plant to look after
💚Wear it Green – supporting the Mental Health Foundation
🚶Lunchtime Nature Walk – with one simple rule: no phones allowed (except for our group photo!)

We chose these activities around what we believe are three important ways to support good mental health:
1. Be physically active
2. Get closer to nature
3. Manage technology use

A recent study shown that in 2025 one in five workers took time off sick due to poor mental health. It is so important to create a safe workplace where people feel comfortable having open conversations around wellbeing. At AWP, we’re committed to building positive team culture through regular wellbeing initiatives, the support of our in-office Mental Health First Aiders and access to confidential support services such as 24/7 counselling.
