For all our friends, colleagues and clients, we organised our first ever Nintendo Wii Winter Olympics at the Royal Institution. Everyone had a great time, with plenty of eating, drinking and virtual speed skating.
With a Wii to be won and places on a Top Gear-style leaderboard at stake, competition was, on the whole, good natured – with a tussle at the top between Laura James from Specialist Schools and Academies Trust and Peter Stidwill from the Houses of Parliament Education Service.
When the competition drew to a close Peter just edged it, with a time he’d set on his first go! A huge thank you to everyone who came along and joined in the fun.

The Workshop’s annual bike ride took place last month. A fantastic mix of staff, clients and friends completed the 11-mile cycle around Howden and Ladybower reservoirs, with more than 50 people taking part.
And didn’t we have a smashing time? The weather was kind and Maynard Flip Flap, our post-ride entertainment, kept us going after a rather tasty picnic.
Of course, apart from all the fun and games, our aim was to raise money for charity. Well here’s the good news. Together, we raised a wonderful £1,005 for Roundabout, the Sheffield charity that helps young, vulnerable people gain important life skills and get back on their feet again.
