Speak to any group of businesses and you’ll find that the last 12 months have taken an incredible toll on so many people’s mental health.
Business owners have faced the same life challenges as the rest of the population, with the added pressure of taking endless high-stakes decisions about the future of their firm.
James Ford, Solent LEP Growth Hub Manager said,
“The Covid pandemic has brought untold challenges for business owners. Whilst navigating the minefield of financial survival, looking after the health of staff, customers, suppliers, family, and trying to adapt your business in a changing world – how do you look after your own mental health and wellbeing?
“That’s why Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) has joined up with small business experts, FSB to launch a brand-new scheme focused on your wellbeing.”
