On Monday, 21 September, we came together for our Staff Away Day, which focused on teamwork, collaboration and building stronger relationships across our organisation.

The day began with an exciting scavenger hunt around Bolton, giving us the chance to work together, explore the local area and enjoy some friendly competition outside of the usual workplace environment.

In the afternoon, we took part in a series of team building activities led by Matthew Lewis from Xena Consultancy. The activities were designed to strengthen relationships, encourage collaboration and highlight the importance of working together.

For Jamie Holt, one of the highlights was having the chance to work with colleagues he doesn’t usually get to work with:

“Working with people I don’t normally get to work with was really insightful. It was great getting to know everyone a bit better and seeing how we all work together.”

The day provided us with a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues from different parts of the organisation, get to know one another better and enjoy some time together away from the day-to-day.

A great team is built on more than just the work we do together. It is also about the relationships we build, the way we support one another and having fun along the way.

Take a look at some of the photos we took of the day.
