A laugh-out-loud satire, taking a humorous look at the inner workings of a fictitious charity (non-profit). When Zimbabweans Jamie and Morag arrived in London, they were ready to carpe every single diem. Little did Morag know it would take her six months of diems and a series of disastrous interviews to find her first job in the Big Smoke. But when she lands a job at the HAMP, she finds herself face-to-face with a line-up of unique, annoying and (sometimes) lovable colleagues. All goes smoothly, sort of, until a disastrous tweet sends the charity into crisis management overdrive. And then the principles of teamwork fly out of the office and on to the sports field, to hilarious and resounding effect. This feel-good comedy, with Morag's keen observations, crushing neuroses, and wild exaggerations, will have you laughing out loud one moment and profoundly moved, the next.
