Wellbeing
From supporting our HECK! team’s physical and mental health, to bringing people together in our community efforts, wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.
Here at HECK! HQ we’re constantly running community-focused social programs, from working with homeless shelters and supporting COVID relief to driving a charity
van to Ukraine. And we’re looking after our team too, whether that’s an on-site dog house at our factory (meaning nobody has to leave their pup at home), our free canteen for shared breakfasts and lunches,
or our HECK! gym helping everyone stay fit.
Here’s why wellbeing matters so much to us, and how you can make a difference too.

What’s your wellbeing score?
Everybody’s wellbeing journey is different: sometimes the most important thing is understanding where you’re starting from. There’s never a bad time to check in with yourself and find out what’s going on.
The NHS offers some great tools for this, like a quick mental and emotional wellbeing checkup, and a calculator to gauge your Body Mass Index, or BMI.
Learn from the experts
Getting and staying mentally and physically healthy is a huge part of life. Luckily, this means there are loads of great resources out there to learn from. Why not try this self-kindness toolkit from the Red Cross as a starting point?
Take action
Small changes can make a huge difference
Wellbeing doesn’t have to mean changing your entire life. Even small tweaks - like being more active in your day-to-day routine,
or changing up your diet to make it healthier - can have huge effects on your mood and wellbeing levels. Here at HECK! we encourage our team to get out for walks every day, and even organise group strolls (with strictly no work talk)!
Time for a StrEATparty?
There’s nothing better than getting to know your neighbours - check out this guide to organising your own StrEAT party, bringing local people together to share food, and challenge loneliness.
Set your 2024 wellbeing goals
It’s not too late to come
up with some resolutions for 2024: this might mean something as ambitious as training to run a 5K, or as simple as just going for a coffee with a friend more regularly.
We’re asking the whole HECK! team to share their wellbeing challenges for 2024 on our “Meet The Team” page - everything from doing 10k steps a day to meditating every evening, volunteering at the weekends or getting off social media.
