We have always been about more than skylights and focussed on the home environment which includes the most important element.
YOU.
“Live in brighter space”
is multilayered in meaning
Over the last few months we have developed a programme as we have seen too many industry professionals and tradespeople who look after their businesses, vehicles, tools and equipment but don't always give the same priority to their own health and suffer debilitating conditions including strokes, heart attacks and prostrate cancer. all which can be managed if caught early.
We decided to do something practical to encourage our community Through our volunteer "Enjoy More Sunsets programme", we visit workplaces and toolbox meetings, share real life experiences and, for those who want to participate, check blood pressure.
We then leave a blood pressure monitor with the workplace, encouraging staff to know their numbers and make an annual health check tailored to your risks part of life.
Yesterday we delivered the programme at one of our client's head offices, supported by the Community Engagement team from Hato Hone St John, who also shared their 3 Steps for Life:
Call 111 → Start CPR → Use an AED and support programmes.
Why does this matter?
We get, on average, around 4,284 weekends in an 82-year life. How many we can truly enjoy can be influenced by the health we carry into them.
For businesses, better health can help retain experienced and critical people their skills, knowledge and leadership.
For families, the return can be even greater.
A walk each day. Better food choices. Know your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, PSA (men). Know your family history.
Like a site assessment have an annual health check with a programme tailored to you and your health risks.
And lead by example so our children grow up seeing than looking after their health is simply part of life.
The goal isn't just more years.
It's more healthy years together. More weekends. More memories. More sunsets.
Know your numbers relevant to you . Listen to the early warning signs.
Act early.
