We launched Nutty Footy at our 'Sun and Games' party
We take our fun and games seriously here at The Workshop. You may already know that from the highly competitive Wii Winter Olympics competition we held in London this February.

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.
