London Gatwick

Last #WorldMentalHealthDay, we pledged to introduce mental health first aid practitioners across our workforce. One year on, we have delivered on training 150 mental health first aiders, alongside 80 suicide intervention officers. For Donna Carter, who spearheaded the scheme at London Gatwick, it was important to recruit colleagues who shared her passion to support staff, passengers and our airport community. We're not stopping there, we are training a further 100 mental health first aiders next month to join our growing network of mental health support for people working at, visiting, or travelling through the airport. Today and every day, we're working to break the stigma around mental health and create a safer airport for everyone. 💚

I really enjoyed connecting with so many people at the conference over the last few days.
