Social activities
We have an expansive list of clubs and activities. We take part in over 20 different sports, including hockey, rugby, badminton, softball, football, women’s football, cricket, netball, karate/self defence, aerobics classes and even dragon boat racing. Some slightly less strenuous activities are yoga, pilates, tai chi and sailing. They’re all good fun.
We also have a social committee who organise regular firm-wide social events including quiz evenings, sponsored walks and drinks evenings. Proceeds from tickets sold to these events go to the DWS nominated charity, which is currently Macmillan Cancer Support. The charity committee raises around £15,000 each year. Other events include the annual summer party; departmental away days, departmental Christmas parties and the firm's Christmas carol service.
Trainee reps also have their own budget, which goes towards organising social activities for the trainees.
