British Land

We are a leading UK property company. We create and manage places that reflect the changing needs of the people who work, visit, or live in and around them, creating Places People Prefer. We own and operate a significant number of shopping centres, local centres, retail parks and fulfilment centres across the UK, as well as office campuses in London. Our strategy leverages our strengths in development, active management, and repositioning assets to focus on two key themes – Campuses, and Retail and Fulfilment.

Our work in suicide prevention

At British Land, we provide various internal networks to help promote a workplace that encourages health, happiness, and fulfilment. We have a Wellbeing Committee, where we regularly meet and create initiatives for the employees of British Land to better support their mental health and wellbeing. We recently developed a Suicide Prevention Strategy for the business. The Strategy includes ongoing training for our staff, regular vulnerable people risk assessments at our assets across the UK as well as sharing best practice amongst our peers to better support our staff, visitors, occupiers, and customers.

Our current priorities

At British Land we want to continue to promote awareness and support for mental health in the workplace but also help prevent suicide across our assets with the support of our teams, through learning, awareness and experiences but also engage with local stakeholders to help support the communities in which our assets are located.

Our current challenges

Like many organisations across the UK, we continue to face many challenges but with the support and dedication of our employees and local teams, we continually push for better access to support networks and help to provide resource in which we can better support our local communities by working with local authorities, organisations and charities as we recognise that suicide is something that isn’t just going to go away and it is something that affects many people.
