Events agency Agiito has announced EventWell’s wellbeing hubs will now be offered as a solution to its customers.

EventWell, the charitable social enterprise dedicated to educating, campaigning and supporting better health and wellbeing across the events industry, launched the ‘Hub’ in 2021.

The Hub is a quiet room and sensory space, designed to “provide a gentle escape from the rich and often overwhelming environment of a conference or event.”

“The hubs are transformational, with delegates needing just 10 minutes for the brain to be refreshed,” added Helen Moon, chief executive, EventWell.

Many of the hubs also come with a trained Mental Health First Aider to safeguard users and provide critical support.

Why now?

Dana Moore, sustainability manager, Agiito, said: “The data from mental health charities shows that up to one in six event attendees could be struggling with their mental health and we want to accommodate that. We wanted to extend the wellbeing solutions we have implemented in business travel to our meetings and events division, and what better way to support this than partnering with the award-winning mental health voice of the events industry.”

Agiito also has an existing partnership with EventWell, with Caroline Medcalf, director of venue find and events, acting as a voluntary trustee for the charitable social enterprise.

Medcalf commented: “Mental health and inclusion doesn’t need to stop at the door; we recognise our customers want to look after their people by creating a self-care culture at their events. This partnership means we can expand our offering with wellbeing and accessibility in mind.”
