As we raise awareness of #HeartMonth, we are proud to announce that we are installing lifesaving defibrillators at our innovation centres across the UK and Ireland. So far 22 of our 32 innovation centres have defibrillators installed including Harwell Innovation Centre in #Oxford, Ocean Village Innovation Centre in #Southampton and The Catalyst in #Newcastle. The plan is for all centres (where possible) to have the devices fitted within the next 6 months.   Sadly, many of us will witness a cardiac arrest in our lifetime but defibrillators can make all the difference to survival rates. As our centres are very much part of the communities in which they are located, we felt it was important to work with British Heart Foundation to provide our customers, staff and local people with access to this potentially lifesaving equipment. https://lnkd.in/enmYvger Jo Stevens Alison Mackie James Rogers BHF "Heart of Oxford" Business Board Oxford Innovation

Today is #TimetoTalk Day - an awareness day designed to start a conversation about mental health. Many small business owners are experiencing increasing pressures due to difficult economic conditions and the day-to-day challenges of running a business, which can in turn impact their mental health and well-being. According to a study by Mental Health UK and iwoca, four in five small business owners report experiencing symptoms of poor mental health.   As part of our holistic approach to supporting entrepreneurs and small business leaders within our innovation centres, our in-house business support team has recently completed Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training through Oxfordshire Mind. By completing the MHFA online training course, the team is now better equipped to identify early signs of mental health challenges and provide initial support. By fostering an environment where mental health is openly discussed, we’re helping break down the stigma and empowering business owners to seek the help they need to thrive both personally and professionally.   https://lnkd.in/eGR2Apmi

As we celebrate Good Business Fortnight, Oxford Innovation Space is proud to reflect on the values that earned us accreditation from the Good Business Charter earlier last year.     Across our network of innovation centres, we are committed to operating in a socially responsible way that benefits our employees, customers, suppliers and the environment.    “Our accreditation with the Good Business Charter reinforces the values we hold as a business,” said Jo Stevens, Managing Director of Oxford Innovation Space. “Through our focus on fair pay, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, and environmental responsibility, we aim to lead by example and support innovation with purpose.”    This fortnight, we’re championing the 10 pillars of responsible business, from fair pay to ethical sourcing, and celebrating the role our centres play in fostering innovation that creates lasting positive impact on the places in which they are based.    Read more about how Oxford Innovation Space achieved it's Good Business Charter accreditation:  https://lnkd.in/gBdx2953   Good Business Charter #OxfordInnovationSpace #GoodBusinessCharter #GoodBusinessFortnight
