WHY WE LOVE CSR
We love working with charities and charitably minded businesses that want to put their FUN to a great cause. We often get so caught up in work and life bubble that we don’t get to see the world around us. Our CSR team activities will not only be effective at connecting your team internally, it will see them connect externally with national and international community and charity organisations.
OUR CHARITY PARTNERS
Our current charity partnerships are with Starlight Children’s Foundation and Canteen, who help Australia’s children and teenagers, and Helping Hands and Water Works, which help impoverished communities in developing nations that need access to clean drinking water.
Our Build A Bike program connects with young families, refugees, or at risk-youth via the most suitable local charity organisation, depending on your location. All of these programs offer a unique perspective, and teamed with our collection of games we create a rewarding experience for your organisation.
Community or Charity based events are a win-win for all involved. The charity and the community win as they get to raise awareness and are given much-needed funds or goods. Your company or organisation also win as you build morale; it feels great to work for a company that gives back.
Participants always feel like they have been part of something special, something meaningful and they feel a greater sense of worth. And our team at Great Race wins because we get to experience the sea of happy, triumphant faces. This is what we live for!
“We are constituted so that simple acts of kindness, such as giving to charity or expressing gratitude, have a positive effect on our long-term moods. The key to the happy life, it seems, is the good life: a life with sustained relationships, challenging work, and connections to community.”
-Psychologist, Paul Bloom

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Employee Engagement
Charity team-building activities significantly boost employee engagement. By participating in meaningful projects that give back to the community, employees feel a greater sense of purpose and pride in their work. This increased engagement will promote team bonding, create higher moral and improve overall job satisfaction.
Skill Development
These activities provide ample opportunities for skill development. Employees can enhance their leadership, communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills in a hands-on, practical environment. Working together on charity projects allows team members to apply these skills in new and impactful ways, fostering personal and professional growth.
Corporate Image
Participating in charity events enhances your company’s reputation. Demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility shows that your organisation cares about more than just profits. It highlights your dedication to making a positive impact on society, which can improve public perception, attract talent, and build stronger relationships with clients and partners.
Community Impact
The positive effects of charity team-building activities extend beyond your organisation. These events directly benefit communities and individuals in need. Whether it’s providing clean water, building bikes for children, or supporting young people affected by cancer, your team’s efforts can create significant and lasting change. This not only enriches the lives of those helped but also instils a sense of accomplishment and fulfilment in your employees.
Team Cohesion
Our charity team building program strengthens team cohesion. Working together towards a common, altruistic goal fosters a spirit of collaboration and unity. Team members learn to rely on each other’s strengths, communicate effectively, and work efficiently as a unit. This enhanced team development leads to better cooperation and productivity in the workplace.
Enhanced Creativity
These activities often require creative problem-solving and innovative thinking. Whether designing a bandanna, assembling a bike, or creating a water filtration system, employees are encouraged to think outside the box. This boost in creativity can spill over into their daily work, leading to more innovative solutions and approaches.
