    I’m sure there are plenty of people who, like me are thinking what can I do to get more out of the job I do and get to know the people I work with?

    Always keen to look at ways of making the time we have at work more interesting suggestions here at Planet NDCS include:

    Share your lunch with someone you don’t usually work with
    Finding out about other team’s jobs
    Praise your colleagues when they do something extra
    Raise money for charity
    Going to the pub
    Have a dress down Friday or EVEN a dress up Friday, have themed days…

    A good website to visit www.wearewhatwedo.org

    Of course we’re not the only ones with ideas anyone who has any more send them through!!

    If you are part of a team in the office you might want to join in one of our corporate events, with NDCS Challenges . There are some really exciting challenges that we have on offer and you will be helping deaf children at the same time.

    Events include, Three Peak Challenges , 24 Peak challenges and even skydiving.

    For our team events , you will need between five and seven walkers at the start of each mountain, plus two drivers per vehicle. You’ll get to see the most beautiful scenery in the UK, and have the experience of a life time.

    NDCS Challenges are run responsibly and carefully, in accordance with the Code of Practise for Outdoor Fundraising in the UK.
