🚭 𝗡𝗼 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 – 𝟭𝟭 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵

𝗡𝗼 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 takes place every year on the 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵, encouraging smokers to take the first step toward a smoke-free future.

Quitting smoking is one of the most important things you can do for your health. From the moment you stop, your body begins to repair itself, improving breathing, circulation, and reducing the risk of serious illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and lung disease.

For employers, supporting smoking cessation can have a positive impact on workplace wellbeing by:
✔ Improving employee health and energy levels
✔ Reducing sickness absence
✔ Creating a healthier work environment for everyone

No Smoking Day is a great opportunity to start the conversation about lung health and encourage those who want to quit to access support and resources.

At OccuHealth Consultancy, we’re passionate about supporting healthier workplaces and promoting long-term wellbeing.

Thank you to Middlefield Community project for the warm welcome at the nursery party today. It was lovely to see all the children freely play, sing songs, and enjoy Santa. I’m glad they enjoyed my tree outfit too!

Have a lovely festive period everyone!

With 10 million people exceeding the 14 unit a week alcohol “allowance”, what are you doing as an employer to support? It’s all too easy to have a culture of encouraging alcohol at social events, handing out the bottle of wine for gifts or prizes. Let’s stop and think!

Switching off from the world - something I do regularly. I don’t listen to the news…I don’t watch dramas. Why? I hear enough of this in reality I keep myself safe outwith my work. It may make me naive in some ways but it makes me fit to continue supporting others. Try it, switching off is really helpful!

Do you feel overwhelmed by everything happening in the world?

Constantly hearing about negative news from around the world can be a lot to take in – and that’s because it is.

Repeat exposure to upsetting content can chip away at our mental health, leaving us feeling sad and anxious.

For this year's we're looking at ways we can protect ourselves from feeling overwhelmed, without switching off from what's happening around us.💜🌍

What do you do when you feel this way? Share your tips, we’d love to hear from you. ⬇️

🚨 PLEASE Share – This Service Could Help Save Someone You Love! 🚨

The more people I support, the more I realise hardly anyone knows about ARCH – a free service from Aberdeenshire Council that’s available to EVERYONE.

👉 If you or a loved one has a fall and can’t get up on their own, call 03456 08 12 06 (option 1).
Two trained responders with the correct equipment will come out – day or night. No registration needed. No cost. Just help when you need it most.

❤️ I recently had a client who fell, and I couldn’t safely lift them myself. I phoned ARCH and within 15 minutes the loveliest responders arrived.

✨ This service is 24/7 – even in the middle of the night there are heroes driving around Aberdeenshire, scooping our loved ones off the floor safely.

⏰ Please don’t delay calling

📞 Even if you’re a family member who doesn’t live nearby, you can phone ARCH on behalf of your loved one to know help is already on the way.

⚠️ Please, please don’t risk injuring yourself or your loved one more by trying to lift them yourself. Call ARCH – they have the right equipment and training to make sure everyone stays safe.

💚 Let’s get the word out – share this post far and wide so no one in Aberdeenshire misses out on this incredible free service.
