We love hearing from our valued members, especially when we hear feedback like this:

‘Hey Warp It! We’ve managed to get Warp It to run itself. The staff own it and run it between themselves’.

 

What a great position to be in, right?

Even though we’re grown up, having fun is still important.

Laughing with friends, playing a game, reading a book, or watching your favourite television programme might be called leisure activities, but the health benefits associated with good old-fashioned fun are well-documented and nothing short of incredible.

Make time to have fun; in fact, prioritise it!

Fun is a serious business! This may sound paradoxical but fun plays an important role in achieving your goals and contributing you’re your overall wellbeing!

Fun is food for the brain and the senses, and can reduce stress, enhance creativity, encourage motivation and improve relationships.

This month we’re sharing tips and tools on how to introduce fun into your life.
