Pressure doesn't stop when your shift does: the free 24/7 helpline for hospo staff

The Licensed Trade Charity (LTC), which supports people who work in pubs, bars and hospitality, has launched a campaign called Always On Shift, its chief executive Chris Welham wrote in the Morning Advertiser. At its heart is a film about a typical day for a hospitality worker, when stress from work and home starts to pile up.

What the LTC offers - A free, confidential helpline, open 24/7: 0808 801 0550 - Support for 45,000 people last year, when calls to the helpline rose 55% - An Employee Assistance Programme that employers can offer their teams

Try this on your next shift - Save the helpline number in your phone, so it's there for you or a mate - Ask your manager whether your workplace already offers wellbeing support, and how to use it - If you're leading the team that night, mention in the pre-shift briefing where support is, especially as December gets closer

The LTC is asking people to watch the film, share it with their team and use it to start a conversation about what helps people switch off after work. Details are on the charity's website, licensedtradecharity.org.uk.
