Today marks Time to Talk Day, a national initiative encouraging open conversations about mental health. You can find out more about the campaign here @timetochangecampaign

At Dafferns, we recognise the importance of mental wellbeing, not just within our team but across the broader professional community. Open discussions about mental health help break down stigma and create a more supportive and understanding workplace for everyone.

We want to take this opportunity to highlight the importance of accessible mental health support and remind our team of the various resources we offer to help prioritise wellbeing. Whether through internal initiatives, professional guidance, or open conversations, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.

Prioritising mental health is not just about having resources in place but about creating a culture where people feel heard, valued, and supported. By making mental wellbeing a core part of our workplace, we encourage open dialogue and ensure our team knows they can access support when needed.

If you or someone you know is struggling, we encourage you to reach out - whether within your own organisation or through external support networks. Mental health matters, and together, we can make a difference.

Martin Gibbs, Brian Jukes and Karen Keeling reflect on the state of the world in January 2025.

* Reflecting on the October 2024 Budget and how it was way worse than we first thought.... with big impacts on Agricultural Property Relief, Pensions and Inheritance Tax, a huge increase in employer's national insurance and the impact on confidence and the UK economy
* Following up on our hugely successful episode 3 last year on ESG, we take a look the current state of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) in light of Germany's push back to the EU and a slow down in demand for electric vehicles
* And of course, the inauguration of Donald Trump and the roll on impact of this on everything…
