Its all very well reminding employers of their
legal and moral duties towards mental well-
being, As employees we also have a duty to
communicate and engage professionally with
our employer / manager if we become
unwell, be it physical or mental.
EMPLOYEES…
Why is it important?
According
to
experts
,
one
in
four
of
us
will
endure
mental
illness
whilst
being
an
employee.
If
you
are
an

it
means
you
will
have
mentally
ill
employees
if
not
now
then
in
the
future,
and
those

and

-
do
you
factor
this
in
to
your
plans?

Before your project
disposes of timber
please consider
donating your bonfire
material to us. We’ll
put it to really good
use, and by doing so as
will you.
Timber
Used in combination
with soil and plants,
tyres make an
excellent low level
retaining wall and can
be made invisible with
ground-cover.
Excellent when used to
make ‘living walls’.
Tyres
Not suitable for
aesthetic purposes,
rubble consists of fist
sized chunks of
concrete and brick
used as backfill/infill
for retaining walls,
under sheds, summer
cabins, and patios.
Rubble
Decorative stone is
used in walls, building
fascias and for focal
points such as water
features or in Zen
inspired spaces.
Stone
Reinforcement bars
(Re-bars) are always
needed and are used
to create structures
such as retaining walls,
railway sleeper beds,
steps, trellis work, and
foundations. Even
lengths down to 1 m
are useful, so offcuts
and ends too please.
Steel
Perhaps not actual
gold, but we do deeply
appreciate the local
donations we receive
from companies, and
individuals looking to
improve a family’s life
in Jersey.
Gold
Many corporate
sponsors provide their
own volunteers from
within their company

are keen to get stuck in
because they can.

This could include anything from timber, steel, concrete blocks or stone. Also; fencing, railway sleepers, old
garden lighting, granite counter tops – even labour or transport would be massively appreciated.
The apparent use of NDAs to
cover up wrongdoing around
discrimination, harassment,
bullying, even criminal
behaviour.
Welcome
As a non-profit organization, Digging Deep undertakes sponsored garden renovations for current and ex-employees of local businesses who are suffering from work related mental illness. This is generously paid for by local employers and private individuals who are invested in our well-being as a community, and to improve things on a very personal level for individuals and families under the strain of today’s fast paced business environment.
Environmental Therapy addresses a person's surroundings to promote better cognitive,
affective and behavioural health.
NDAs in Compromise Agreements should never be used to cover up illegal and unlawful
activities around discrimination and unlawful dismissal.
When work-related stress is prolonged it can lead to both physical and psychological damage,
including anxiety and depression.
In 2020/21 stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 51% of all work-related ill
health cases and 55% of all working days lost due to work-related ill health.
55% experience anxiety as a result of work stress, almost half (43%) lose sleep while a third
turn to comfort eating.
