As we previously announced, our whole Thrive Tribe virtual Christmas celebrations will take place on December 14th this year. This will be hosted on Teams, with the link to join being sent out via calendar invitation.

The virtual festive fun will take place from 10am-12pm, and will be an interactive session in which we will be hosting various Christmas-based tasks, games and activities for you all to partake in. The day has been designed so that we can all join in the festive activities during the morning from the comfort of your own home, with then plenty of travel time being available for us to travel to a more local venue to meet with your fellow teams. A rough plan for the day is as follows (although exact times will vary depending on what your team/area is doing):

‍

9.50am - log into the virtual festive fun webinar from home, individually, avoiding "watch party" type gatherings where possible. We're not trying to curb the fun here, it just works so much easier if everyone is taking part in the activities individually, rather than some being in 30 plus groups, and then others being on their own.

‍

10am-12pm - The Thrive Tribe festive fun webinar games, activities and tasks being set and undertaken, alongside a jolly out catch up with team mates! Our new team mates from our 6 NDPP areas have also been invited to join us for this, so it will be a great opportunity to meet them too.

‍

12pm into the afternoon- get ready and travel to your office or nominated meeting point for your team/area's local festive celebration plans.

‍

Evening, into early hours - obviously this will vary from service/area to service/area, and from person to person. All we ask, is if you are likely to celebrate into the night, with maybe a Sherry or two, and you think you might not be fit for work on the Friday, please book the Friday off as annual leave, through communications with your line manager.

‍

Reasonable expenses can be claimed for to support taking part in your team's in person fun, in addition to the £25 per person. If you're unsure on this, please speak with your line manager, or contact Trev directly (click here).

Thanks and we look forward to seeing as many of you at the virtual celebrations as possible.
