Brightside

Getting our ducks in a row... literally! 🐥🎯

Last week, the Brightside team hit to celebrate a major milestone: the welcome of our new CEO, John Craven!

While we usually focus on mentoring and social mobility, we discovered that our team absolutely dominates digital fairground games.

From topping the Prize-O-Rama leaderboards to clearing out the hook-a-duck, we definitely dialled up the competition! 🏆

The day gave us the perfect chance to share plenty of laughs and get to know John in the best kind of chaos.

However, we may need a rematch on some of those scores!
Welcome to the team, John!

Did you know that International Women’s Day actually has its roots in a strike for "Bread and Peace"?

Back in 1908, women took to the streets to demand basic rights. They knew that if they gave their courage to the cause, the whole community would gain a better future.

In 2026, the theme is Give To Gain, and it feels just as relevant today as it did 100 years ago. At Brightside, we see this "giving" in action every week.

Giving isn't a subtraction. It's how we all rise together.

We're curious, who is the woman in your life who "gave" you her time or wisdom when you needed it most? Let's celebrate them in the comments! 👇
