Tis the season of good will and community, a time of year where giving back is especially important. We were lucky to be invited to by our charity partner, The Encephalitis Society for their Annual Member’s meeting. A UK-based organisation and the only one of its kind, delivering international support for those affected by Encephalitis, the day consisted of the Society recapping their activity over the last 12 months alongside several talks from inspirational speakers. We were honoured to receive their ‘Corporate Partnership’ Award and would like to thank everyone on behalf of the society who donated to the cause throughout the past year. Read a roundup of the day on our blog.
