February – April 2008:
Amanda Bate, Julie Whitehead and a number of active members represented and supported the Laughter Network at the South Bank Centre in London as part of a series of workshops to celebrate ‘Laughing in a Foreign Language’.

For the first time Lloyd's supported Samaritans' national Stress Down Day held on 1st February and staff at Lloyd's enjoyed many stress reducing therapies in the workplace, including a laughter workshop.
Here’s what a member of staff had to say about the workshop.
"Endorphins escape!! From distress to de-stress in just under an hour!"
The Laughter Workshop was no joke, as we learned about the positive physiological changes that laughter brings about, the therapeutic benefits of tackling stress, and the remedy for a happier workplace!
The Laughter Network was featured on the Culture Show BBC2 on Saturday 2nd February.
in association with the exhibition Laughing in a Foreign Language held at the Hayward Gallery on London’s South Bank.
