Feedback from a team member who also happens to be a working Mum highlights the community feeling within the team: "I love the community at Heat. I have to admit that I feel a little left out when catching up with my mother’s group, as the majority are full time stay at home Mums. But at work I feel part of a community of working mums. I have a support network at work and I am grateful for that."
