We know from staff feedback about Ensemble, that your favourite articles are those about each other – our colleagues and friends!

So, in this edition, we are launching a monthly staff engagement feature covering a whole array of topics and events and we’d love YOU to take part!

Next month sees the return of Comic Relief. We’re a nosey bunch and would love to know if you’re doing any fundraising for Red Nose Day! Or you could share a funny joke with us or tell us about your favourite comedian.

April marks National Pet Month in the UK and we bet there are plenty of photos out there of you and your furry friends! In May, as part of National Walking Month, tell us about the places you escape to and explore. In June, we are celebrating all things Pride and throughout the summer, share your holiday plans with us! Are you jetting off to sunnier climes or holidaying at home?

We’d be interested to know your thoughts on Black History Month in October and as November sees the return of World Kindness Day, we’d like to love about your random acts of kindness. And of course, as we round off the year, we’ll be asking for your Highlights of 2022.

In each edition of Ensemble, we’ll remind you of what’s coming up the following month. Then all you need to do is submit around 50 words along with a high-res photo to Dave Bradbury and we’ll publish the best ones!  

Don’t forget to send us your Comic Relief jokes or stories by Friday 5 March! Email [email protected]
