Patchwork Hub

It’s nearly midsummer, and if you’ve been watching the FIFA World Cup, you may have noticed players taking “hydration breaks.” Whatever the motivation, we’re here to celebrate seeing a high-profile, weather-related adjustment.
At Patchwork Hub, we believe in focusing on the barrier or need, rather than the condition. Whatever the weather, changes to temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity can seriously impact health and wellbeing. As climate change results in more extreme weather, considering weather-related adjustments in the workplace is becoming more important than ever.
There are plenty of low and no-cost ways to support yourself, colleagues, and friends:
• Changes to location: Even moving to a different spot in the room can help! The option to work from somewhere warmer, cooler, or drier has a huge impact.
• Personal heating/cooling items: No need to battle over aircon controls. Non-electrical solutions are available if sockets or safety are issues.
• Additional breaks: Useful for international athletes, but essential for anyone whose pain and energy levels are affected by the weather.
• Changes to working patterns: Flexible hours help with transport disruptions and allow people to avoid the hottest, coldest, brightest, or darkest parts of the day. You can also prioritize shifts according to need.
• Relaxed dress codes: This helps colleagues manage sensory needs, temperature regulation, and other health-related requirements more comfortably.
• Tailored leave policies: Show you are prepared to support parents and carers in case of school closures or health emergencies.
• Start the conversation: Simply ask how weather impacts people’s health.
Small changes like these can make a big difference.
You can find support as an individual or as an employer from Patchwork Hub, whatever the weather - visit patchworkhub.org to find out more or DM us today!

It’s Carers Week this week. And it’s also the start of Pride Month.

Both matter - and for many people they aren’t separate conversations, even if workplace inclusion often treats them that way.
Too often, inclusion is built around single categories, but people’s lives don’t work like that and neither do the barriers they face. People are a patchwork of identities that mean they can find themselves facing barriers that compound, multiply and interact.

People can also find themselves pigeonholed by whatever characteristic is the most “visible” and may even find themselves excluded by the communities from which they most need support.

It’s time we all remembered the difference between “protected characteristic” and “single defining feature” - this will help us to fight stereotyping, prejudice and approaches to inclusion that force individuals to decide which of their needs they would like to be met. People shouldn’t have to choose between having their relationships respected or reasonable adjustments. We should be able to take pride in everything that we are, whoever we are and whoever we love.
At Patchwork Hub, we know people’s lives do not sit neatly in one box. Pride matters to our work because LGBTQIA+ people should not have to separate their identity, access needs, caring responsibilities or ambitions to be included. Good inclusion should make room for the whole person.

This week is Carers Week - a national campaign to raise awareness of unpaid carers, the challenges they face, and the vital role they play in supporting families and communities. Carers UK open their annual survey “State of Caring” on June 16th to ask carers about the impact unpaid caring has on their lives.

A carer is anyone who looks after a family member or friend who has a disability, mental or physical illness, addiction, or who needs extra help as they grow older.

Yet too often, our carers go unrecognised, even by themselves.

Many people who meet the definition above might not think of themselves as carers - yet there are an estimated 10.6 million unpaid carers in the UK alone. That’s 16% of the UK’s population.

Recent estimates suggest unpaid carers provide up to £184 billion in services, but they are paying the price financially, socially and personally. According to last year’s survey, 68% of carers said they needed more support with their own health and wellbeing.

The theme for Carers Week 2026 is “Building Carer-Friendly Communities”.

Carer-friendly communities are places, spaces, services and community groups where unpaid carers are recognised, understood, and valued. They make support part of everyday life, ensuring carers get the opportunities and help they need.

Patchwork Hub’s talent pool includes some amazing skilled professionals with caring responsibilities, and equality for carers is baked into our DNA.

If you employ - or want to employ - carers, here are some tips to create a more carer-friendly workplace:
Offer flexibility. This could be by adjusting working hours, offering remote or hybrid roles, or making sure your leave policy includes Carer’s leave.
Recognise the impact of caring responsibilities. One in five carers in employment have moved to a more junior role because it fitted better around their caring responsibilities.
Signpost to support. Set up a carers’ network or find local resources for carers to access.
Start the conversation. Offering support up front shows you recognise the value of all the work carers do, paid and unpaid. Discussing needs can also make a significant difference to wellbeing, retention and performance.

If you’re a carer looking for flexible work or a supportive community - we’re here to help.
And if you're an employer wanting to better support your workforce, get in touch to learn more about our inclusive recruitment and consultancy services.
