It provides a lively and active schedule of events throughout the year to give our staff an opportunity to socialise with colleagues across all departments.

Some examples of events organised by the CSCSC include:

  • Monthly Friday night drinks for staff, aka ‘Mingles’,
  • Discount tickets to theatre shows and live music events,
  • Golf days, winery tours and a shopping tours,
  • Bake sales to raise money for various charities.
