Many workplaces now embrace hybrid working — splitting time between home and the office. For years, people have built their routines and lifestyles around this flexibility.
But critics say it weakens team spirit, slows training, and makes collaboration harder.

But critics say it weakens team spirit, slows training, and makes collaboration harder.
💬 What do you think? Hybrid forever, or back to the office full-time?

New Zealand has among the highest proportions of threatened or at-risk species in the world, and around 25 million native birds are killed by introduced predators every year. But it's not all bad news - when predators are removed or controlled, nature bounces back fast. We’ve already seen it happening in many parts of the country!
People all over Aotearoa are doing their bit - setting traps in their backyards, planting natives, volunteering, or donating. You can too! Backyard trapping is one example of effective individual action.
What do you think? Can we reach our Predator Free target in 2050?

That’s when I discovered dance fitness. Moving to music not only supports my coordination and recovery, but also lifts my mood and gives me back a sense of freedom. Dance fitness is for everyone—whether you’re recovering, keeping fit, or just wanting to have fun. In fact, FitSteps is the UK’s number one dance-based fitness programme, blending ballroom and Latin moves into a workout that’s enjoyable, effective, and empowering. I attached a couple of flyers below so you can find a class if you are interested.
Summerset’s Nationwide Open Day is on Sunday 5 October. All 38 of our villages are open from 10am to 2pm.
