Some exciting people news to finish the week here Some exciting people news to finish the week here at edge - a big official WELCOME to Sarah, who has joined us in our Thame office as a Graduate Urban Designer… taking the total of Sarahs at edge up to 3! 🤩

Here are some fun facts about the lovely Sarah:
🌟 Sarah started playing lacrosse at university and spent several years as a goalie - bruises and all! Despite that, it’s a sport she would love to return to, and she’s even qualified to referee a men’s game!
🌟 A love of water sports took her all the way to Madagascar, where she spent three months earning two diving qualifications, swimming with sharks and studying to identify more than 300 species of fish for conservation research work. 
🌟 Singing has been an early interest of Sarah’s, and she was chosen to perform a solo in Mozart’s Requiem - live on radio from Cologne Cathedral!
🌟 Sarah loves attending live music and comedy shows and always makes sure she has a couple booked in each month all over the country! 
🌟 Recently she has been getting into crocheting and knitting in her spare time. She hopes this year will be the first year she’ll be able to wear a completed project!
🌟 Sarah loves travelling as much as she can - whether it’s road tripping with friends to UK staycations, venturing deep into the Costa Rican rainforest, soaking in the hot springs in the Azores, or counting down to the New Year under the bright lights of Times Square.
🌟 She’s a big fan of quizzes; give her a pub quiz and she’s in her element!

Welcome to the team Sarah! 💖
As adults, we tend to associate the word ‘play’ wi As adults, we tend to associate the word ‘play’ with a children’s activity. We’re often told that playing is not even for adults, its only for children, and only in designated play areas (that are designed by adults who are then not allowed to use them!) Yet play in its varied forms has been shown to mitigate the effects of anxiety and depression and increase cognitive function - alongside a whole host of obvious health benefits attached to more physical play forms. 

In the UK, it is widely accepted that we are suffering from a public health crisis, from the overwhelmed NHS to the rise in long term illnesses. If health and wellbeing is a vital part of the design process, then surely play should be included too? Head to our website (link in stories!) where Izzie has shared why play isn’t just for adults, and why we need to play now more than ever.
Last week the team came together for an extra spec Last week the team came together for an extra special combined Make Space session, where we explored Lewes through plasticine modelling! The edge team were joined by Lewes residents to help us understand what opportunities there are in the town, and to put together some design principles. This activity allowed us to explore ideas together as a team, as well as find ways to communicate through modelling, to quickly explain ideas in a way that can be understood by everyone.

The edge Charity Bake Off has returned… and this w The edge Charity Bake Off has returned… and this week’s theme is Women Supporting Women 💖 (which also ties in beautifully with the latest issue of the UDG Journal!) Money raised from this round of bakes will be supporting Refuge, who provide specialist support for women and children experiencing domestic violence. 

This week Greta made traditional Lithuanian zefirs (a cross between marshmallow and meringue!) as well as an amazing colourful candyfloss cake, and Rebecca made shortbread biscuits and a delicious banana bread! Every slice and sprinkle goes towards supporting this brilliant charity - thank you star bakers! 👩🏻🍳💕 (Swipe for a bonus pic of Alfie being Alfie 💖)
