ICS Staff Wellbeing Opportunities Summer 2024
Fri 10 May
“My feedback can only be 10/10 for these classes! It’s the reason I’m excited to have to go to work. It helps socialising with other co-workers in a scenario that we would probably never find ourselves in, we laugh like crazy, we exercise and learn new things… these hours make my headache disappear!”
