funraising for
Our local mental health charity, that provides support and advice for young people’s emotional health and wellbeing
why are we doing this?
January is a tough time of year for many people, but it's especially tough for people working in retail, hospitality and customer services.
So we've created these two games for anyone who works or has worked in these industries, for the post-Christmas slump.
If you play either game and want to help, we are fundraising for a local charity, 42nd Street, who do amazing work in supporting Manchester's young people, and once supported our CEO!

CHATS
Since we're a conversation starting card game, we just had to make a series of questions all about working in customer services.
To play, just ask the questions between your friends and colleagues, and if you want to compete, take turns who gets to vote gave the best contribution.
give
As well of introducing a bit of ridiculousness into January, we want to use our position to do something good for our community. So we are donating to a cause that's very close to our hearts. 42nd Street offers counselling, mentoring and all kinds of support for Manchester's Young People, and once upon a time supported our CEO in his youth!
