Diversity, Wellbeing & Environment Calendar

January 2024

The Elf is no longer on the shelf and the decorations are down, so it can be a time for reflection after what has hopefully been a happy festive holiday. However, a new year is a fantastic opportunity to look forward and set some goals to keep us motivated and positive.

Here at RHG we are certainly looking forward to working with current learners and those who are in the process of applying for apprenticeships. We will be building on our resources to support learners and with a growing number of learning coaches, its never been a better time to be an RHG Apprentice.

Happy New Year!

Our GROW Academy covers a range of workshops, designed to support the journey through an apprenticeship, ranging from Time Management Techniques to Being Socially Responsible and a myriad of others in between.

Indeed, first up in 2024 is ‘Mindfulness’. Whether you’re raring to get going with 2024, and what lies ahead, Mindfulness is a great workshop to set you up for the journey.

Book your free place now and don’t forget it counts towards off the job hours, if you’re currently on an apprenticeship.

Don’t just take our word for it, here is some feedback from previous participants

Finally, here are some more observances and their meanings:

Twelfth Night	5th	The Church of England says Twelfth Night is 12 days from Christmas Day, which means Twelfth Night would fall on 5 January.
Epiphany	6th	Epiphany, or the Feast of Epiphany, most commonly known as Three Kings’ Day, happens twelve days after Christmas, on January 6th.
Orhtodox Christmas Day	7th	Many Orthodox Christians annually celebrate Christmas Day on or near January 7 to remember Jesus Christ’s birth, described in the Christian Bible. This date works to the Julian calendar that pre-dates the Gregorian calendar, which is commonly observed.
Orthodox New Years Day	14th	As with Orthodox Christmas day, New Years Day works to the Julian calendar, rather than the Gregorian calendar.
Tu B’Shevat	25th	Tu B’Shevat, also known as Tu B’Shevet or Tu Bishvat, is the day that trees come of age according to Jewish law. Jewish people mark this day by eating a symbolic meal of fruit and nuts or planting trees.
