What is Action Wellbeing?
Action Wellbeing supports the physical and emotional wellbeing of everyone involved in XR actions. Look out for us in our blue hi-vis. In our teams we also have qualified First Aiders who wear green tabards.
Action Wellbeing provide water, hand warmers and snacks (chocolate!), as well as a listening ear and a friendly smile. Rebels come to us for all sorts of things, including: information on the nearest toilets, rain protection, conversation, blankets and pillows, warm tea, songs and chants, support during arrests and countless other useful things! We promote self-care, people-care and Earth-care.
Designated First Aiders are typically needed when:
- over 50 people are attending an action
- the action is a high physical risk environment.
Wellbeing is typically needed when:
- arrests are likely
- an action may last for a long duration
- larger numbers of people are attending
Wellbeing is essential for actions that include lock-ons, glue-ons, or occupation.
