Devon & Cornwall and Dorset Police’s Wellbeing team have kindly made the recordings available from their recent Wellfest wellbeing festival.

Devon & Cornwall and Dorset Police’s Wellbeing team have just successfully finished their fifth annual virtual wellbeing festival and have made the recordings available for those of you who missed them.

They ran over 30 sessions that covered all areas of wellbeing including guest speakers sharing their own inspiring stories; Charlie Morley, the ‘Sleep Guy’, retired sergeant Andy Wilson who spoke openly about his survival journey into and out of a mental health issue, and so many more. They were honoured to be joined this year by Figen Murray OBE, campaigner, counsellor, life coach, and mother of Martyn Hett, who was tragically killed in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack in 2017.
