As part of #NIW2019 , we played snakes and ladders with an inclusive twist. Even Dual Purpose Working Dog, Ike, got involved - let’s just say, the blow up dice required a ‘repair’ job! Such great fun 😍 @CivilServiceDI

[Defra Diversity Team @DefraDiversity]

Really useful and interesting finding out more about tricky issues faced by people living at the intersection of faith and sexual orientation with @ClareMoriarty and panel. Celebrating #NIW2019 #Diversity #inclusion

Thanks @MsNRuk for the inspiration for our Eid & Shavuot celebration. I particularly loved sharing my dad’s mini Torah scroll with colleagues. @CSJewishNet

[joannehoare @JoHoareEA]

I’m really pleased that I was able to represent @DefraDiversity and support the @ukhomeoffice and the HO Working Through Cancer Network celebrating #NationalBloodWeek. Good to see lots of employees signing up to donate and making pledges.

[John Leyland @JohnLeylandEA]

Today colleagues heard different stories from different speakers. The one thing that unites them all was the importance of talking. Talking out loud, to each other, to someone.
Thanks to the speakers, all those who attended and to all our new #CancerNetwork local reps #TeamEA
