Sussex relaunches Wellbeing Hub

Sussex Cricket and Raiys Relaunch 

Pioneering Wellbeing Hub

Sussex Cricket and Raiys are delighted to announce a two-year extension of their partnership and the relaunch of a bespoke Wellbeing Hub, the first of its kind in professional sport. 

In 2021, Sussex Cricket became the first professional club to have its own Mental Health & Wellbeing Hub, launched during the Covid 19 pandemic, to offer support to people across the country, with resources available free of charge. 

The new partnership will cover the 2024 and 2025 seasons. 

The extension of the partnership has seen the platform rebranded, with the newly designed streaming service becoming even more accessible to those who need it. 

Users will have access to a library of comprehensive wellbeing support resources, with the site having been designed with the help of the team behind the new ITVX website. 

Visitors will be able to select topics that are of interest to them from 17 channels, including a special Cricket in Sussex channel. The service also includes podcasts, advice from experts, roundtable discussions and special wellbeing offers and discounts.

And just like with major media streaming platforms, users can share content and create their own wellbeing playlists. 

Sussex, Southern Vipers and Southern Brave star, Mary Taylor, is an ambassador for the platform and has also been named as an ambassador for Sussex Cricket’s charitable arm, the Sussex Cricket Foundation.

In a recent interview, which is available on-demand on the Hub, Mary discussed the positive impact cricket has had on her own wellbeing. 

Speaking on the relaunch, Phil Worms, Raiys Regional Director said: “We’re delighted to continue our ground-breaking partnership with Sussex Cricket to provide a platform of hope and support. Wellbeing issues didn’t stop when the pandemic ended. With an expanded range of content covering over a hundred life challenges, we hope the new-look Wellbeing Hub encourages even more people from the community to use it to find the help they need.” 

Gary Wallis-Tayler, Community Cricket Director for the Sussex Cricket Foundation added: “We are delighted to extend our partnership with the team at Raiys.

“This will see Sussex Cricket continuing to provide an important resource to support all our communities, across the county and beyond. 

“The free to use platform is available to anyone, including our affiliated club network, sponsors & members, and contains a comprehensive range of information designed to support those in need.”
