Every group took on the โ€œMake Your Own Soupโ€ challengeโ€ฆ and the results were a full line-up of winter warmers. Think bold flavours, clever ingredient combos, and enough steaming bowls to chase away any hint of November chill.

But this wasnโ€™t just about tasty soup โ€” it was a masterclass in real-world skills:
โ€ข Planning what to make
โ€ข Shopping smart
โ€ข Choosing the right recipe
โ€ข Chopping, simmering, seasoning, adjusting
โ€ข And confidently pulling it all together

The best bit? Soup is the ultimate versatile hero โ€” budget-friendly, healthy, batch-friendly, freezable, and you can throw just about anything into it and still call it a win.

Plenty of skills, loads of creativity, and bowls of comfort. Thatโ€™s how we roll in soup-season. ๐Ÿฅ„โœจ

๐Ÿง—โ€โ™‚๏ธ Bouldering brilliance from the Life Programme crew!

Bouldering isnโ€™t just climbingโ€ฆ itโ€™s thinking on your feet, testing ideas, trusting your team, and keeping your cool when the route gets tricky. And this lot showed off every one of those skills.

From solving problems mid-climb to backing each other with solid encouragement, the progress has been huge โ€” stronger moves, sharper thinking, and confidence that keeps climbing.

Big leaps forward, loads of determination, and a cracking session all round.

Because Edge has grown, shifted, evolved and levelled-up over the last decadeโ€ฆ and it was about time our digital front door caught up.

Every old email still works. Every old link still lands.
