National Day of Reflection 2023 – Thursday, 23 March

23 Mar 2023

An opportunity to pause and remember

Wild daffodils

National Day of Reflection marks the third anniversary of the UK COVID lockdown in 2020.  

This anniversary gives us an opportunity to show support to the millions of people in the UK who've been bereaved during the COVID-19 pandemic and to give everyone a chance to reflect on the lives of the people we've lost.

We recognise that today may be a difficult day for many colleagues in our Manchester community, and we invite you to take a moment to reflect on your own, or with a colleague on how you are feeling today. 

We also have a range of wellbeing and mental health support for colleagues.

Employee Assistance Programme
