What is The Charity Team Building Company?
The Charity Team Building Company brings teams together with an engaging, fun, and truly unique team‐building activity that gives back to charities and local communities. This project, rooted in charity, employee engagement, and corporate events, offers highly participative and meaningful events perfect for teams of all sizes – from 6 to over 2000. The project delivers memorable experiences right at the workplace or in a chosen event space, with a complete setup of equipment and expert guidance. Whether it is an on-site or remote event, participants dive into challenges that combine creativity, teamwork, and social benefit. It’s a fantastic way to create value for businesses, boost employee morale, and support charities in a tangible manner… all wrapped up in one engaging experience.

Unique Team Building Activities
This project is all about unique, purpose-driven team exercises. Participants can opt for activities such as Charity Bike Build, where teams gather to learn the skills needed to build a bike and, after overcoming challenges, donate the finished product to deserving charities. There is also the Onboard Skateboard Build, where teams assemble and decorate skateboard decks that are later donated to a young person’s charity or social inclusion project. The Fun House Challenge invites teams to create wooden playhouses for children’s charities, using a theme provided by the children themselves… ensuring that every build is filled with genuine care and creativity.
CSR and Corporate Impact
With a robust B Corp score of 90 reflecting its ethical approach, The Charity Team Building Company also features activities like the Flying Start Drone Build, where teams learn to build, code, and fly drones destined for schools across the UK. More inventive challenges include the Performance Wheelchair Challenge, in which teams work together to build specialized wheelchairs for grassroots inclusive sports clubs, and the Get Ahead Challenge – building an inspiring bed for a child in need. Even the Great Philanthropic Challenge spices things up with fun “Crystal Maze” style activities that rally teams in competing for items to include in care packages set aside for selected charities. Each challenge is meticulously designed to foster teamwork, boost employee engagement, and provide a meaningful return to local communities.
Creating Value for Teams and Communities
The program underlines value creation by delivering events that are both memorable and impactful. Whether it is through competitive app-based challenges like Benevohunt – which leads teams on a journey through a city, solving different tasks along varied routes – or through creative events like the Livewire Music Box Challenge, where adapted musical instruments are crafted for SEN schools and social inclusion projects, every activity resonates with purpose. The project offers further flexibility via DIY events that allow organizers to host a charity team building experience independently. This tailored approach reflects a strong commitment to customizing programs to meet team requirements, ensuring each event is as engaging and diverse as the teams involved… really a creative twist to the standard team meeting.
Boosting Collaboration and Innovative Thinking
Engaging team building is at the heart of this project, where every single activity drives home the importance of collaboration and creativity. From assembling components in Charity Trike Build—where trikes are built to help children with disabilities experience the joys of cycling—to the dynamic challenge of Getting the Balance, which involves constructing scooters for families living in poverty, the experiences transcend simple recreational activity. They provide a real-life, hands-on opportunity for participants to learn new skills, manage time effectively, and embrace innovative solutions in a fast-paced and fun environment. This style of learning helps ignite fresh ideas and strengthens bonds within teams, all while making a positive contribution to social causes.
