LET'S START A
CONVERSATION
In a recent LinkedIn poll, you told us what wellbeing topics matter most to you.
So our North and Scotland BDM Dan Hopper sat down with Sam Davies from Men Who Talk for an honest conversation about some of the challenges facing mortgage professionals today.
From making time for your own wellbeing to checking in on others, Sam shares practical, relatable perspectives that can benefit us all. While Men Who Talk’s work focuses on adult men, the advice shared in this discussion around wellbeing is relevant to everyone.
Plus, Jason Berry, co-founder of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter, leaves us with a simple but important reminder: The conversation doesn’t stop here.

Beyond the video
National Wellness Month may provide a reason to shine a spotlight on wellbeing, but it’s not a one-month conversation.
Supporting positive wellbeing, making stronger connections and checking in on one another is something that matters all year round. It helps people thrive, which sits at the heart of our Thrive Agenda. You can find more information about this initiative here, including our latest Thrive projects.
That’s why we continue to support initiatives that bring people together across the industry.
Movement to Move
For example, the first Thursday of every month means one thing: Movement to Move day. 👟
Alongside the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter and Mortgage Strategy, we put our trainers on and join the monthly run club for a 5k.
A chance to get outside, catch up with colleagues and check in on each other.
Let’s keep the conversation going
A huge thank you to Sam at Men Who Talk and Jason Berry at the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter for helping us bring these conversations to life.
Because while August may provide the spotlight, these conversations matter all year round.
What’s one thing you’ll do this week to support your wellbeing, or that of someone around you? 💚
