Ideas for Groups: Christmas

On this page we include some ideas that groups can use at Christmas; creative activities that help to reach out into the organisation and in a positive but appropriate way touch others with the love of Christ.

We also list reports of activities that groups have undertaken at Christmas time.

We would love to hear from you about what you have done in your workplace at Christmas. Let us know of any ideas that have worked well at office@transformworkuk.org.
