Initially I have found it to help me perform better. However as i have progressed i feel like my uni work is behind my development but still provides good backing and context
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

A variation in social events with my team, the wider business, suppliers and emerging talent events. I have undertaken a few charity events such as, the 24 hour 3 peaks challenge and I am doing the London to paris bike ride in September.
