Last month, we swapped whiteboards for wine glasses and lesson plans for paintbrushes \u2014 and our very first Teachers Paint & Sip event <\/mark><\/strong>was a huge success! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invited a group of brilliant teachers from Manchester and the surrounding areas to an evening of switching off, getting creative, and having some well-deserved fun outside the classroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by our very own Sophie, Ruby, and Abi from the Discounts for Teachers team, the night was all about community, connection, and a splash (literally) of colour.<\/mark>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Instead of the usual blank canvas, everyone got a free tote bag to paint on \u2014 something they could actually take away and use. There was also plenty of pizza, drinks, and of course, a goodie bag to take home (because what\u2019s an event without freebies<\/mark>?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it mattered<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teachers told us how refreshing it was to spend time with fellow educators, share a laugh, and try something creative together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, they got the inside scoop on our new app \ud83d\udcf2 \u2014 making saving money on the fun stuff (and the not-so-fun stuff) even easier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Our Members Had to Say<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We received some lovely messages from those who attended the day. Here’s what they had to say;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Yesterday was such a fun event. I loved meeting other teachers and bring able to talk about our jobs. It was useful to find out about the dft app and what offers are coming soon.<\/mark> The added gift bag with stationary was a bonus for us teachers!<\/mark> I really hope you do another one because it was a wholesome day, even if my bag wasn’t the best!<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0“Thank you so much again for yesterday, it was so lovely and we\u2019d definitely be up for more events of yours!<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thank you so much for letting me come along to the event today. It was a beautiful set up and you could tell a lot of thought had gone into it.<\/mark> I really hope you can do another one in the future!<\/em>”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Our promise<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We know teaching is more than a job \u2014 it\u2019s a juggling act of endless hours, endless patience, and often, endless cups of coffee. That\u2019s why we\u2019re committed to supporting staff inside and outside of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events like this are just one small way of saying thank you<\/mark> to the amazing people shaping the future every single day. \ud83d\udc9c\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s to more paint, more pizza, and more celebrating you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
