Ian Dunn, Chief Operating Officer and聽Mental Health Champion said:
“I’m delighted so many guys took the opportunity to have the Men’s MOT and having taken the test myself I can guarantee it’s a superb thing to do.
“I want to express my thanks to Sport and Wellbeing Supervisor, Jo Harvey,聽all of the Operational team and聽everybody who took part.聽For many of us it will be an hour incredibly well spent with truly long-term health and wellbeing benefits.鈥�
鈥淎t least two people were prompted to visit their GP as a result of their MOT and many more have made healthy lifestyle changes. So we think it鈥檚 been very worthwhile.”
Below are just a few of the compliments received by the organisers following the campaign:
“…it is such a great opportunity and such a useful thing to do that anyone, no matter what level of fitness they have, can benefit from it. I have been telling quite a few of my friends who do not work at the University about it and they are very jealous!”
鈥�I really found the session useful, so thanks聽for supporting my health!鈥�
“I found this MOT very useful and thank you for your time. I was impressed with the professional way it was run, I definitely聽got a lot from it. I would very much like to come again to see if I can improve my results.聽It聽has also given me a greater understanding of I what I need to concentrate on’.
Congratulations to Sam Quin from聽HR (pictured above)聽who was the lucky winner of the signed Saints shirt.
The five-a-side football matches are still continuing, the winners will receive tickets to a Saints match announced later.
In case you missed it, here is the lecture聽by Richard Frost, Employment聽Specialist from the NHS聽on 鈥�.
