Our minds are often busy with thoughts of things that have happened in the past or things that may happen in the future. Mindfulness asks us to take break and observe our thoughts, focusing on the present moment.
Join mindfulness teacher Melanie Sinclair for gentle meditation aimed at giving you a taste of the practice of mindful meditation. This is a course for everyone, including those who may have tried mindfulness in the past and those new to the practice.
It will provide you with an opportunity to raise issues that cause you stress at work, and to think about how you could use mindfulness in your work life.
All are very welcome to attend and Melanie is a skilled and experienced practitioner, but if you are currently receiving treatment for any mental health problems it may be advisable to speak to the person providing you with support for advice on whether a short mindfulness course will complement other medical or psychological interventions.
Who is it for?
The course is primarily for front-line workers, whether you work in the schools, social care NHS, schools, social care, waste and recycling, streetscene, highways, parks, administration or any other role delivering vital services and support to our communities.
Managers at all levels are also welcome to attend too as it will help you to understand the needs of every worker in your team.

Worker Voice
Your course will be delivered by an expert tutor who will guide you and your fellow workers on a three-stage journey during your course:
- Issues – how does this issue affect you and your colleagues?
- Ideas – what would make things better for you and your colleagues?
- Involvement – how can you and your colleagues get involve in making positive changes in your workplace, including through your trade union?
You will take part in activities that capture your voice and we will communicate the outcomes anonymously to UNISON local branches, self-organised groups and sectoral forums. This means voice on the subject is heard at the heart of your union’s democratic structures.
