The theme of the day focused on managing stress and anxiety while encouraging participants to have fun and build positive connections. We also incorporated a volunteer activity in partnership with the Les Twentyman Foundation, supporting underprivileged young people by helping provide essential school supplies to those in need.

A special thank you to our Wellbeing Team for organising and running these events!
