As we conclude our spotlight series on Tingdene Group’s Core Values, this month we are focusing on a value that reflects the professionalism, honesty and accountability we strive for as a business: Integrity.
With just three months to go until the inaugural Tour de Tingdene, excitement is beginning to build as we prepare to take on a three‑day, 230‑mile cycling challenge taking place from 3rd – 5th September 2026.
Residents and colleagues at Badgerwood Residential Park came together for a ‘1km Walk the Park’ event in partnership with Marmalade Trust to help tackle loneliness amongst the elderly. The relaxed community walk encouraged residents to connect, enjoy the outdoors and support one another, finishing with refreshments from an ice cream van. The event highlighted the importance of community spirit, meaningful conversations and building stronger connections across the park.
At Tingdene Group, Mental Health Awareness Week is an opportunity to pause and refocus on something that affects us all, our wellbeing.
This year’s theme is Action.
Earlier this year, we shared with you that Marmalade Trust was our chosen charity for 2026, this is a charity dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness and helping people build stronger connections. Their message is clear: loneliness can affect anyone, at any time — and small actions can make a big difference.
Why Loneliness and taking Action matters
Loneliness isn’t always visible, and it doesn’t always mean being alone. It’s about feeling disconnected, whether that is from people, from conversations, or from a sense of belonging.
Left unaddressed, it can have a real impact on mental health, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
That’s why taking action matters. Whether it’s reaching out to someone else or taking steps to feel more connected yourself, even small efforts can help break that cycle.
Taking Action at Tingdene
Across the business, we are encouraging everyone to get involved in simple ways that bring people together and can have a positive impact on someone’s mental health.
Some recent examples of action include the 1KM ‘Walk the Park’ initiative on our residential parks, which is aimed at tackling loneliness amongst the elderly and ensuring everyone who lives on a Tingdene park has an opportunity to socialise or talk to another person or simply to be in the presence of others.
We are also building momentum towards our Tour de Tingdene event later this year. With now 18 riders on board, both from within Tingdene Group and external supporters, the event promises to be a real success and we encourage anyone of any experience, if of interest, to ask how they can get involved. There is something for everyone.
We also have our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) with Wisdom & Health Assured, which is a platform filled with resources and tools available to our colleagues and their family.
These initiatives are about more than activity, they are about creating opportunities to connect, start conversations, and support one another.
If you’d like to get involved, keep an eye out for updates or speak to your line manager about how you can take part.
Small actions, every day
Taking action doesn’t have to be part of an organised event. Often, the simplest things can have the biggest impact.
This week, you might consider:
Taking a lunch break with a colleague instead of eating at your desk
Stepping away for a tea or coffee break and inviting someone to join you
Checking in with someone you haven’t spoken to in a while
Making time for a conversation, even if it’s just a few minutes
These small moments of connection can make a real difference, not only to you but to others as well.
There’s no right or wrong approach, what matters is doing something.
Mental Health Awareness Week is not about grand gestures, but rather the small, everyday acts of care that make the biggest difference.
As we continue our spotlight series on Tingdene Group’s Core Values, this month we are focusing on a value that underpins how we work together across the business: Collaboration.
