Receiving deliveries. Recently inroling on CHORT 6 in leadership.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

At the minute with covid we are alittle restricted but I'm sure when its lifted there will be activities in place that can help support. However there are team events that we are currently doing in our area that can help on leadership- leads fest and another leadership programme, so I am going to rate this experience 10 still.
