What are creative writing lunchtime taster sessions?
Staff have the opportunity to spend their lunch period writing.  Not reports or programs, but fun exercises to inspire their imaginations and unleash their creativity.

How do they work?
Up to 10 members of staff at a time (each lunch hour) can attend.  Sessions can start with a game to enable everyone to relax.  The rest of the time is spent writing and if they want to, reading out to the group what they’ve written. 

People come to the session with a blank sheet of paper and (hopefully) leave with one filled with thoughts and ideas.  Possibly even the start to that best seller!

What do you see would be the benefits to our company …
You will give your staff the opportunity to be creative and release some happy hormones.  Happy staff, it has been proved, are more productive.

…and our staff?
They will have the opportunity to explore new talents and potentially use these in their work or during team sessions.  Another benefit to your company!

If we were interested what would you need us to do?
Advertise the sessions to your staff, provide a suitable room and collect the names of those interested.

What would they need to bring with them?
Their lunch, paper and pens.
