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

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
