Happy Radio UK has been appointed the official radio partner for the brand-new Greater Manchester Wellbeing Series, a two-event programme designed to support and inspire workforce wellbeing across the region.
The Greater Manchester Wellbeing Series aims to empower workplaces and individuals to prioritise their mental and physical wellbeing through accessible, inclusive and community-focused events. The series will launch with two flagship events:
- 21 May 2026 – Heaton Park: a 5.5km run and 2km walk – suitable for all abilities – set in one of Manchester’s most iconic green spaces, on a summer’s early evening, encouraging movement, motivation and team participation.
- 22nd October 2026 – a virtual meditation across Greater Manchester. Three minutes of meditation guided by experts. A challenge for all to learn to meditate and improve your focus and attention (good for both work and home). Learn to reset, connect and focus – mindfulness based wellbeing for all.
Registrations for the Greater Manchester Wellbeing Series are officially open and you can register now at www.gmwellbeingseries.com
