Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service Wellbeing Breaks
Between June 2024 and October 2025 Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service teamed up with Ten:10 Outdoor to run a series of wellbeing breaks. The four evidenced principles of being together, being active, being curious and being mindful were woven into our times together.
It is widely recognised that those who have been through situations in their work or life that have been particularly difficult, traumatic or involved conflict benefit from the opportunity to rebuild resilience. These breaks offered those who came along this opportiunity through active engagement with the outdoors.
This is what those who came said ...
"... Bob’s infectious enthusiasm and genuine care for our group made every step a joy. He expertly balanced encouragement with a relaxed pace, ensuring everyone felt included and energized. The routes he chose showcased stunning views that lifted our spirits, and his knowledge of the area added a special touch to the experience. Bob’s positivity and thoughtful guidance transformed our walks into memorable journeys of well-being. Highly recommend him for anyone seeking a refreshing and uplifting adventure!"
...“catered for our groups mixed abilities and never pushed anyone beyond their limits, only encouraged what we didn’t know we had”
“If you’re looking for a break from life and boost your wellbeing for a few days then this challenge is for you, yes you’ll probably ache a bit afterwards but trust me when I say you will feel recharged and refreshed, this was an amazing experience”
“It was a very enjoyable 3 day that I spent in Wales, … when we were walking over the cliff tops … I found this more rewarding than the day before were we had scrambled up the mounting as all I felt I was doing was concentrating so hard on where you walked that you missed the beauty that we were walking in”
“The instructors captured the group in a perfect way with knowledge and experience”
“Goals were achieved from their encouragement and trust in us to complete the walks with individual needs. This ended with a sense of accomplishment for everyone involved and great teamwork ethos which created great wellbeing with a positive outlook for the future”
“After just completing a weekend away with Ten10, what fantastic weekend away in the fresh air we had. We all felt really welcomed by Bob, Mark and Mandy (who made us the best carrot cake we’ve ever eaten for when we arrived!!)”
“The activities of mountaineering and rock climbing were just right and pitched at our level of fitness and ability”
“I was diagnosed with a lifelong health condition a couple of years ago where I was so worried about going away this weekend. Worried that my knee wouldn't be up to it, or I made it worse. To the point my anxiety was through the roof. I spoke to Bob when I got there and told him how I felt. He put me at ease right away […] and I managed to make the summit. Which was an emotional thing for me because I never thought it was something I could achieve”
“I found whilst there I had a clear mind and felt so positive. My partner noticed a massive difference in me. Buzzing with achieving. It has given me a lot more confidence […] knowing I can really push myself a lot more than I think”
“Throughout the day Bob and Mark were very knowledgeable on the mountains and local plants and nature which captured our curiosity. I feel we all came back from this weekend feeling closer as a team and more relaxed. The accommodation and local amenities in Llandudno made for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend, hopefully we get to go again in the future”
“Supportive throughout when difficult conversations came up. I was able to open up and talk about struggles that I am going through and have gone through. It wasn't just someone listening for the sake of it”
“I can highly recommend this activity, I have completed tasks that I would never have thought possible, don’t get me wrong it has pushed my endurance at times, but it was worth it. Bob & Mark are very knowledgeable in both the activities and their surroundings which made it all the more interesting”
“ Bob and Mark from ten:10 where spot on. Their knowledge and compassion whilst away were second to none”
“Extremely well run and tailored to suit individuals needs”
