Merry Maids Leicester Champions World Mental Health Day.

At Merry Maids Leicester, we’re advocates for good mental health, not just for our customers but also for our staff, both in the workplace and beyond.  This month, for World Mental Health Day on October 10^th, our Merry Maids Leicester team came together to recognise the importance of mental wellbeing and to encourage/ upskill staff on how they can maintain a healthy mind throughout all areas of their lives.

World Mental Health Day takes place on 10^th October every year, reminding us all to prioritise mental health and break down the stigma surrounding it. This year’s theme for World Mental Health Day is “Everyone Deserves Good Mental Health”, which highlights the importance of creating safe, supportive environments where everyone can access the care and understanding they deserve to have and maintain good mental health.

What We Did To Mark The Occasion? 

At Merry Maids Leicester, our people are at the heart of everything we do. To mark the occasion, Rachel Mullaney, our branch manager, who is mental health trained, hosted and dedicated the afternoon to a wellbeing session focused on mental health awareness, self-care, and practical ways to support one another.

The session included open discussions about why mental health matters, recognising stress, managing work-life balance, finding time to recharge and all the resources available to help ensure our staff have good mental health. In the fast-paced cleaning industry, this can sometimes be overlooked, and this was an opportunity for our maids to reconnect, share experiences, and learn how small, consistent actions can make a big difference to their mental health.

At the end of the session, each team member received a special Merry Maids Pamper Pack, filled with thoughtful treats designed to promote relaxation and self-care. From face masks to candles to a sweet treat to affirmation cards. The packs served as a reminder that taking time for yourself is a must.

“Our maids work incredibly hard to go above and beyond to make our customers’ homes sparkle and ensure our customers are happy after every clean. It’s equally important that we do the same for ourselves and our staff. World Mental Health Day was a perfect opportunity to do just that. Advocating for good mental health isn’t just something we talk about once a year, but it’s part of our ethos in being a business that cares about our customers and staff.” Said Rachel Mullaney, Branch Manager of Merry Maids Leicester.

Through initiatives like this, Merry Maids UK continues to champion the wellbeing of its people, encouraging everyone to take a moment for themselves, reach out when they need support, and recognise that mental health is just as important as physical health.
