Time to Talk Day is the nation’s biggest mental health conversation! Taking place on Thursday 3 February 2022, it’s the day that friends, families, communities, and workplaces come together to talk, listen and change lives.
The day is all about creating supportive communities by having conversations with family, friends, or colleagues about mental health. We all have mental health, by talking about it we can support ourselves and others.
Time to Talk Day was launched in 2014 by Time to Change, a campaign to end mental health stigma and discrimination, which was run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness.
Lintott has developed a team of Mental Health First Aiders, Mental Health Champions & RSPH Workplace Health Champions available to support colleagues. All have been externally trained & are subsequently equipped to support colleagues or provide advice for any family members.

This year the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) expanded the Data Privacy Day campaign into Data Privacy Week, a full week-long initiative. Data Privacy Day began in the United States & Canada in January 2008 as an extension of Data Protection Day in Europe. Data Protection Day commemorates the January 28th 1981 signing of Convention 108, the first legally binding international treaty dealing with privacy & data protection.
Data Privacy Week helps spread awareness about online privacy & educates people on how to manage their personal information & keep it secure. Data Privacy Week also encourages businesses to respect data & be more transparent about how they collect & use customer data.
The theme for this years Data Protection Day is Privacy Matters. It instils a sense of accountability that Privacy is integral to every individual’s life.
Lintott places the upmost importance on the protection, preservation & integrity of information assets held by the Company.

Lintott are proud to support the Norwich Science Festival held at the Forum this half term week. The festival in its sixth year, offers inspirational exhibitions, sensational shows, and an abundance of hands-on science activities for all ages and all levels of knowledge. Lintott have been collaborating with NAAME and Alpha Inclusion who have been supporting five of the apprentice team from Lintott, Thurn-Middleton and Warren Services.
The apprentices were on hand to show young visitors how to code Lego Boost models, with a different range of challenges. It was lovey to see so many children excited about science and learning from the difference experiences the festival has to offer.
