Community & Charity Events

Our corporate social responsibility, community or charity team activities are a great option for workplaces looking for something that will connect the team with the community they live in or those less fortunate from around the world. Great Race has some brilliantly fun, feel-good, charity focused events for teams wanting to hold an activity or event that combines CSR with fun team building.

These events are bigger than just bragging rights or that alluring winner’s medal, our charity team events enable participants to celebrate being a part of a company that wants to give back to those less fortunate, while providing a very real and practical way of giving a helping hand! And the best part is your team will still delight in all the direct benefits of a team activity in terms of leadership skills, team cohesion, time and change management, and planning and strategy. So you can give back to your community and to your own team at the same time!

Check out our fun and rewarding community and charity activities below.

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 who help impoverished communities in developing nations who 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, 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 win 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
