The Charities We Work With
We partner with both local and international charities. After determining the purpose and requirements of these charities, we crafted unique and engaging charity team building activities to both help meet the charities’ specific needs and our clients’ team building goals.
Through our charity team building events, we support charities with important supplies such as food, household items, hygiene items, school supplies, toys, prosthetic hands and even feeders and enrichment equipment for animals in shelters.
We are proud to support an array of charities through our team building events including Re-Cycle, Shelter, Sleep Pod and Alexander Devine.

The Benefits of Charity Team Building Events
Charity team building events provide important additional support for charities to meet the needs of their cause, by providing:
- Hands-on support with equipment for people or animals such as building emergency shelters for those experiencing homelessness, building enrichment equipment for animals in shelters, or building bikes, prosthetic hands and quality toys for children in developing countries.
- Food and essential item donations through team building events such as Putt for a Purpose, Operation Supply Drop, Charity Bake Off and Charity Gift of the Gab.
- Fundraising through different office activities.
Charity team building activities have a positive impact on participants, by improving:
- Awareness at an individual level on causes that are out there and in need of additional support.
- Motivation to get involved in charity work more often, either alone or with a team.
- The development of transferable skills out of the office, such as problem-solving, creativity, thinking outside of the box and social skills.
Charity team building activities impact your organisation’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts by:
- Supporting charity goals
With the rising cost of living, individuals are finding it increasingly difficult to afford food, shelter and other basic necessities. Through charity team building activities, you not only provide a fun activity for employees, but also support charities to provide these all-important resources for people in need.
- Connecting your organisation with the local community
By engaging in charity team building, you can learn more about your community and bridge the gap between your corporate world and the social environment you operate in.
- Showcasing company values
Research shows that only 40% of employees feel they know what their company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals, strategies and tactics are. By using charity team building events to bring employees together, companies are not only able to showcase their values to their internal staff, but also to their clients and the wider public.
- Boosting employee wellbeing
Taking part in charity corporate team building activities bring a fun and motivating change of pace, boosts employee morale and builds skills and rapport to take back into the workplace. Research from the British Council shows that employees want to work for more than just money. They want to work for companies that have a purpose and have a positive impact on the community.
Charity Team Building FAQs
Charity team building activities are team building activities with a charitable twist. These events typically include games and challenges that you and your team can engage in, with a meaningful purpose so you’re helping out a cause that means something to your organisation. We have a diverse charity team building event portfolio but most of our events can be turned into charity events. For example, you can take the number of points you accumulate during the Crystal Team Challenge event and translate them into actual money that is donated to charity.
Regular team building events are a great way to improve collaboration amongst employees, and a chance to step out of the office into a more interactive and fun environment. They also have been proven to boost morale and trust in the office, leading to improved workplace culture. Through the use of corporate charity events, you can take the effects of these team building activities one step further. We have found that when you bring teams together to support a charitable cause, they are significantly more likely to engage in the activity.
We partner with a wide range of incredible charities across the UK and around the world, from children’s organisations and foodbanks to shelters and animal rescue centres. However, you’re also welcome to choose a charity that’s close to your heart, so your team’s efforts directly support the cause you care about most.

We recommend interactive charity team building events such as Charity Bike Build, Sleep Pods, or Putt for a Purpose for an energetic day that supports amazing causes.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an organisation’s goals or policies that demonstrate their commitment to supporting people and the environment. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become increasingly popular in the last few years. As countries struggle with societal and environmental impacts, it has become extremely important for businesses to have a greater duty towards society than just providing employment opportunities and making more money. Charity team building events contribute towards your organisation’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by supporting a charitable cause and raising awareness of important causes among employees.
Our charity team building events are designed to suit all group sizes and budgets. Prices vary depending on the activity and group size, but we’ll always work with you to create an experience that fits your goals and budget perfectly. We also offer free venue finding to help you get the best value for your event. Enquire now and our team can provide you with a detailed quote within just 45 minutes.
