Last week, we had the privilege of hosting students from Edge Hill University at our Support Hub and Distribution Centre. It was a great opportunity for them to explore our operations and gain insights into our work. During the visit, they had the chance to connect with a former student, Rebecca Zdrenka, who generously shared her career progression post-graduation. It was inspiring to witness the exchange of experiences and knowledge between current students and a successful graduate like Rebecca. ⭐ 🤩

Today is International Men’s Day – a day to proudly celebrate and support our everyday family heroes. At Matalan, we’re proud to launch our Men’s Health Network – a space dedicated to our colleagues, raising awareness, fostering conversations, and supporting the men in our teams and communities. Here are some hard-hitting facts to reflect on: • 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. • 3 out of 4 suicides are men, highlighting the urgent need for better mental health support. • Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among men aged 15-49. These numbers remind us why talking, listening, and acting is crucial. The Men’s Health Network will provide a safe space with resources, conversations, and a sense of community for our colleagues, helping them feel supported in all aspects of their health. We’re stronger when we look out for each other. We proudly celebrate and support the everyday heroes who make our families, teams, and communities thrive. #InternationalMensDay #MensHealth #EverydayFamilyHeroes #LifeatMatalan
