We’re not sending any Christmas cards this year - instead we’re making a donation to a charity and would like you to help us choose which charity benefits from this initiative!
Simply visit our Christmas Charity page and place your vote.
In the meantime, we hope you have a fantastic Christmas and New Year and look forward to working with you on your team building events in 2011.
From all the Team at Kaboura Events
With community team building events businesses can kill two birds with one stone. Why? Because these types of team building events not only unify your workforce and help you identify hidden qualities on your employees, they can also make a difference in your local community or in any community of your choice be it in your own country or abroad.
Such events are specially designed to promote corporate social responsibility, deliver significant benefits to the selected community as well as support your team to bring the best in each individual.
As afore mentioned community team building events generate numerous benefits to your workforce, business and obviously the community.
For businesses alike it provides a helpful solution towards corporate social responsibility by motivating employees in achieving real value tasks, not to mention that these events are great opportunity to enhance brand awareness through PR initiatives. Community team building events are also a powerful tool for team and personal development.
Communities involved can benefit in numerous ways such as driving more attention and exposure to local community problems and projects which in turn could generate further volunteering opportunities, as well as creating an opportunity for community and local businesses to develop a more friendly relationship.
Employees can develop their social awareness by getting involved in real life causes that will really make a difference. Working on these real life situations will also give employees the opportunity to work with colleagues that they haven’t worked with in an informal way.
There are numerous community team building events that range from events that help raise money to worthy causes, to events that focus on local action with a global reach and literally help change lives of children in third world countries like India and Ethiopia.
Below you will find a couple of community and charitable team building ideas:
One World, One Team
This event provides a truly unique experience where teams work together in creating, producing, packing and dispatching gift boxes to children in need in developing countries around the world. If you are looking for a team building event that will really make a difference in people’s lives this is the event for you.
The Charity Challenge
An event to have fun with a purpose. Teams compete in a series of challenges from balloon modelling to recreating their version of world famous landscapes. After each task is completed teams are awarded with “Charity Chips” which can then be banked and converted into real cash. At the end of the event all the money raised is added onto a presentation cheque and delivered to the selected charity.
It is a good idea to contact the charity first and arrange for a representative to join the event and receive cheque and tell the teams where the money will be used.
Innovative team building activities and forward thinking even management company - Kaboura Events specialised in Community Team Building Events
Team building is essential to any business with a low or high number of employees. Team building activities are tailored to unify and discover hidden talents within a group of workers. Now imagine doing all that and helping your local community at the same time.

A charitable team building event for your team
Team building events are specially tailored to unify your work force through all sorts of activities. Over the years, innovative charitable and community team building activities have gained in popularity thanks to the wide range of benefits generated, not only to your business and its employees but also to your local community.
If you like the idea of community and charitable team building activities then look no further as that is exactly what this article is all about. There are countless benefits that these types of team building events provide. From my point of view these type of charity focussed events are the most beneficial and complete team building activities currently available.
Charity Team Building Days continue to grow
Despite the recession continuing to bite deep for many businesses, a large number of companies are still recognising the importance of maintaining morale in the team and bringing their staff together for a good old-fashioned bit of ‘team bonding’.
And with budgets being continually squeezed, many businesses have chosen to give their team building day a charitable aim to ensure that the events still continue despite the sweeping cost cutting that is being seen across the corporate world.
Peter Barker, Director of Kaboura Events, states that ‘whilst many of our team building events have seen a down turn in the last year, the specialist ‘charitable team building‘ that we provide is almost 20% up on last year. Clearly the message of developing teams is still firmly on many peoples’ agenda and having an opportunity to provide some tangible benefit to a worthy cause as part of this is helping many teams justify the budgetary spend for on-going events’.
Community Team building events clearly provide many benefits to worthy causes and charities and enable teams to bond and work together on real life challenges that really make a difference.

Make a Difference Day - Smiths Medical
Well done to the team from Smiths Medical who successfully completed a charitable team building event by undertaking one of our unique Make a Difference Days last week. The team of International Managers flew in from around the world and found themselves at the Rare Breeds Centre in Ashford, Kent, supporting The Canterbury Oast Trust.
As part of the community challenge team building event the team undertook a range of tasks to support the charity - everything from painting the craft centre to refurbishing the outdoor furniture. And the huge pigs that live at the centre were cause for much interest amongst the team!
