Open Up is the official charity of Devon Partnership NHS Trust, dedicated to improving mental health, learning disability, and neurodiversity services in Devon and beyond. We focus on supporting both patients and healthcare teams, recognising that the wellbeing of NHS staff is essential for delivering the highest quality patient care.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Your Charity Lottery to raise funds specifically aimed at enhancing staff wellbeing. Open Up funds a wide range of initiatives that benefit patients, staff and carers. The money raised through Your Charity Lottery will be used to improve staff wellbeing by creating comfortable breakout spaces, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas and wellness programs such as group exercise classes and gym equipment.
By participating in Your Charity Lottery, you directly contribute to improving the work environment for NHS staff, which in turn leads to better care for patients. While Open Up supports a variety of healthcare projects, the funds from this lottery are specifically focused on enhancing staff wellbeing.
Steve Smeeth, Head of Staff Health and Wellbeing at the Trust, explains: "Your fundraising efforts have already made a huge difference. Donations have funded our free gym at Wonford House in Exeter, where colleagues can access tailored exercise programmes to maintain their physical and mental health."
