What is a 'group chat break'?
Roughly three times a year, we have a week or two where we take a break from running group chats.
We use these periods as a chance to gather community feedback, reflect on how things are going on the community, and look at anything we might want to work on. It's also a good chance for staff, volunteers, and you, our community, to take a breather. If you use group chat often, chat breaks are a good opportunity to try new services and expand your support network too.

@Morgan yep you are more than welcome to run a quiz round again if you've done one before. We'll post up a new thread about the quiz soon where you can sign up to write and host a round
