Smiths Medical - charity team building event

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!

Make a Difference Days enable teams to undertake a charity team building day that supports a worthy cause in the community. Kaboura Events designs and delivers a unique range of charitable team building events that get teams working together for the benefit of others.

Further details on our Community Challenge team building events is available by contacting us on 08450 780543.

Christmas Card Campaign - Update

Christmas team building event

Our ‘Christmas Card Campaign’ seems to have been the biggest team building event we’ve ever run as hundreds of people scrambled to join in the fun and vote for their favourite charity!

A huge ‘thank you’ to all those people who took the time to vote as part of this campaign and help choose where our Christmas donation was sent in lieu of sending Christmas Cards.

We were overwhelmed by the response to this initiative which certainly seems to have received a big ‘thumbs-up’ from all our clients, staff, suppliers and business contacts.

The voting was pretty close but after a final count up we’re delighted to report that the winning charity with the most votes was…………… Click here to find out where this year’s Christmas donation ended up!

We wish you all a very Happy New Year and look forward to working with you in 2010.

There’s snow stopping us!

Team building in the snow!

Well, despite the terrible weather and snow yesterday we’re delighted to report that our Event Manager Dave still managed to battle his way through the lanes in Kent and successfully complete all the site visits for our forthcoming ‘Make a Difference‘ team building day for Smiths Medical.

Dave managed to visit four potential community team building projects and view a range of possibilities - everything from supporting the local Scouts to a make over for a homeless housing project.

Our unique Community team building events and charitable team building activities continue to be a popular option for teams looking to enjoy a team building day whilst also doing some good for others. These team building activities are increasingly being used to support company’s corporate social responsibility agendas and provide teams with a really practical way of promoting CSR within the company and making a difference.

We have an Event Planning Meeting today to review all the potential community projects for this charitable team building day and will be updating the community project beneficaries today to let them know who’s the lucky winner!

Highlights of the team building year!

Happy Christmas

As another year draws to a close, we’ve been looking back at some of the highlights of the year and analysing feedback from our clients as part of our on-going focus for ‘continuous improvement’ in all areas of our work. Whilst we’ve been operating through the UK’s deepest recession for 60 years, we’re delighted to report that we’ve continued to maintain a strong level of service delivery and run a large number of successful team building events throughout the year.

Highlights for us have been…

The continued development and growth of our Community Team Building Events. These will continue to develop and grow throughout 2010.
The implementation, launch and development of Express Venues - our dedicated Venue Finding Division.
The positive feedback we’ve received from every single team building event we’ve run this year.
The on-going strategic alliance with our Partner Company in the USA.
The new office phone system!! This has allowed us to work smarter in the office!
The outlook for 2010 which looks really positive and exciting.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our clients, staff, suppliers and supporters who have been part of Kaboura Events throughout 2009. We wish you all a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you all in 2010.

Charitable team building that makes a difference

Team building that Makes a Difference

The Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square, London, was the latest setting for our unique ‘One World, One Team‘ charitable team building event which saw a large team from Societe Generale successfully make, pack and wrap nearly 100 charitable gift boxes for needy children.

This innovative charitable team building event is a great way to promote corporate social responsibility as part of your team building event and help make a difference to children in the wider global community. Plus it’s alot of fun!

And despite the fact that the teams had been in a conference all day they really did pull out all the stops as they battled it out to complete a range of fun team building activities in order to earn the most amount of cash to spend in the ‘Shop of Dreams.

Challenges complete, it was time to visit the on-site ‘Shop of Dreams’ to purchase items for their gift boxes prior packing them ready for despatch. And with the boxes complete the event ended with the team viewing a video highlighting details on where their boxes would end up and how they would make a difference to the life of a child.

All in all a super Xmas event that was enjoyed by the whole team.

See our ‘One World, One Team‘ page for further details on this unique event or call us on 08450 780453 for further details.

Charitable team building on the increase

Charitable team building events

As the recession continues to hit the events industry we’ve found more and more companies are turning to charitable team building events in order to keep the Financial Director happy and on-side!

Whilst we’ve seen a down turn in many of our events this year the uptake on our Community team building events has dramatically increased - despite the recession.

In particular our One World, One Team event and out Make a Difference Days have been popular with people looking to add a CSR team building angle to their activities.

Our unique CSR team building events and charitable team building activities have contributed over £500,000 worth of benefit to the local community and enabled corporate companies to enage in the community and make a difference.

For further details on these events call our Events Team on 08450 780453.

Charitable team building events - can we help?

Charitable team building events

As the popularity of our CSR team building events and charitable team building activities continues to grow, we’re currently updating our database of beneficaries to enable us to provide support to even more worthy causes.

If your charity, voluntary organisation or community project is in need of a hand then contact us and we’ll add you to our Challenge Database. We complete our Make a Difference events throughout the UK and are always on the lookout for worthy beneficaries to support as part of these unique events.

In the past we’ve organised Community Challenge team building events that have included everything from garden make overs in Hospices to refurbishments of Community Centres - we’ve even had staff from O2 acting as models for a charity’s promotional material!

So, if you need a hand and you represent a worthy cause why not give us a call to see how we can support you with our unique team building events.

And if your team is looking for a really different team building event that ‘Makes a Difference’ why not contact us too to see how we can help you organise a charitable team building event to remember.
