Culture Club – creating joy at work
At the heart of our organisation is a simple belief, that when people feel connected, supported, and valued, they thrive.
That’s why our Culture Club has been working hard behind the scenes to create moments of joy, laughter, and community across the year. In the last 12 months alone, they’ve organised over 20 events for us all to enjoy! Here are some of the ways we’ve been making work more than just work:
The Great Garden Bake Off
From signature sponges to showstoppers, our bakers rose to the challenge in a friendly competition that brought out everyone’s inner Paul Hollywood. The icing on the cake? Sharing slices (and smiles) with teammates.
Golf days
For those who enjoy the great outdoors (and a bit of healthy competition), our golf days have been a hole-in-one — (mostly) great weather, great company, and even the occasional birdie.
Volunteering at Tarner Park
As part of our commitment to giving back, we spent a day gardening at Tarner Park in Brighton, supporting a fantastic local charity. Getting our hands dirty for a good cause brought a whole new sense of team spirit. It was so good, we’ve been back two years in a row!
Summer Party
Our summer bash combined virtual cricket with delicious food and plenty of laughter. It was a great way to unwind, connect, and celebrate the sunshine (however brief!).
Christmas Party
We traded the usual festivities for something a little different — a themed escape room, followed by dinner and drinks. Nothing bonds a team like being locked in a room together under pressure!
Easter Egg Hunt
The office turned into a chocolate-fuelled treasure hunt, with eggs tucked in unexpected places and plenty of friendly rivalry.
Blue Monday Boost
To lift spirits on the so-called “saddest day of the year”, we brought everyone together for coffee, cake, and conversation. A small gesture with a big impact.
Coat Drive for Local Charity ‘Off The Fence’
We wrapped up the year with a coat drive, collecting warm clothing for a local homeless charity. A simple way to show kindness and care for our wider community.
These moments – big and small – help shape our culture and remind us that work can be a place of joy, connection, and purpose. A huge thank you to the Culture Club for making it all happen.
