Charity Programs
Explore charity team building programs that turn shared challenges into practical support for communities. Choose an experience that suits your people and purpose, or talk to us about incorporating a charity your organisation already supports into your next team event.
Lego Legends
In every real adult a child is hidden that wants to play! Make sure you channel your inner child for this uplifting program that will see participants battle it out to build the most Legendary LEGO structure
The playful spin on this program transforms to heart-warming when brand new LEGO sets are donated to a children’s charity of choice.
Par for a Cause
Does your organisation have people that will do anything for a sneaky nine holes while others find that boring or difficult? Well now you can cater for both in a fun and empowering charity program called Par For A Cause. This fun, interactive and engaging team event can also be conducted in a variety of outdoor and indoor locations.
Bikes for tykes
One of the most powerful charity team building programs in Australia is Bikes For Tykes – the original charity bike building program.
Teams work through a series of activities with the overall goal to build a bike from scratch and put a smile on an underprivileged child’s face.
Toys for tykes
You never get too old for toys! In Toys 4 Tykes, teams work strategically to build a brand new children’s wooden toy from scratch.
It will be a challenge to be the best toy building team but then seeing the smile on the face of an underprivileged child who receives it will make it all worthwhile.
Out of the Box
In the only charity team building program of its kind, ‘Out of the Box’ is an opportunity for socially responsible organisations to make a difference to the lives of Australians doing it tough. Unaware of the outcome teams will be presented with the challenge of working together to earn essential items that many Australians go without each and every day.
Give a dog a home
Each team’s goal in Give A Dog A Home is to design, build and present an award-winning dog kennel from scratch.
The ultimate reward in this team building program with a difference is the donation of these new kennels to an animal charity for dogs in need of shelter, including a visit from some friendly canines.
Flat Pack Frenzy
We have all felt the frustration and then the reward of completing a flat pack from scratch. In this team building program with a twist, there will be plenty of fun, hard work and challenges as teams build their very own flat packs. The twist is what is being built will be donated to families in need, making Flat Pack Frenzy a truly powerful and memorable program.
Charity Chef
Charity Chef is a powerful team building program that requires teams to design and then cook a number of delicious dishes.
The reward is then the special donation and delivery of these culinary masterpieces to a worthy charity at the conclusion of the event.
Fill It
The mission is to fill a trailer within an allocated timeframe with goods to be donated to charity. Think it’s easy? Think again!
Fill It requires strategising, team work and creative thinking to maximise time and efficiency in filling the trailer.
Karts for Hearts
This is your chance to be a Formula One buggy technician for a day and build the ultimate racing kart.
Karts for Hearts is a fun indoor or outdoor team building program with the objective to earn equipment and resources to build a billy kart and create a sales pitch why your kart is better than the rest.
The Pitch
Which team has the innovators, planners and presenters to successfully emerge from the Shark Tank?
The Pitch will combine the creative flair and business acumen of all participants as they work in teams to create, plan and pitch a fundraising event for charity.
Play it Forward
An ability to sell ice to Eskimos is an important talent in this team building event.
Play It Forward will stretch comfort zones as participants pursue financial success through creative engagement with the general public.

FAQs
Your Questions Answered
From purposeful play to community impact, your planning questions answered.
Meet our Charity Partners
This annual guide spotlights the remarkable organisations we partner with across Australia. It’s designed to connect our clients and community with causes they can support in their own way.
The Future of CSR in the Workplace
Explore how hands-on participation connects your people with your organisation’s values, and what to measure beyond the donation itself.
How does charity team building benefit our team and the community?
Your people play, collaborate and contribute in one shared experience. Challenges give colleagues a reason to exchange ideas, recognise different strengths and work towards something worthwhile. We call this the Play x CSR Multiplier Effect: team connection, company values and community contribution reinforce each other, turning your purpose into something people actively experience.
Can we support a charity our organisation already works with?
Yes. An existing charity partnership gives your team a personal connection to the cause. Tell us who you support and what they need, and we’ll explore a suitable program and donation outcome. We can also introduce options through our existing charity partners, helping you connect your team’s efforts with a meaningful community contribution.
Who helps us plan the event and donation?
Your dedicated coordinator guides the preparation through our Trusted Play Process. Together, we establish your team’s goals, choose the program and discuss the charity connection and donation arrangements. You bring the brief and key decisions; we bring the planning support and expert facilitation that turn them into a purposeful team experience.
Can our team meet the charity or donation recipients?
Where arrangements allow, a charity visit or handover can bring the purpose of the experience into the room. It gives your people a direct connection with the contribution they have made together. We’ll discuss what is possible for your chosen program and location, and confirm the arrangements during planning.
What if some colleagues are sceptical about team building?
A shared task gives people a natural reason to participate. They might solve a challenge, organise materials, contribute ideas or help with the build. Our facilitators guide the experience, while the charity purpose gives the teamwork a clear direction. People have something useful to do together, with different strengths contributing to the outcome.
Are charity programs suitable for different ages, abilities and personalities?
The right program gives people different ways to contribute, from creative thinking and planning to practical tasks. We consider your group’s preferences and participation needs when recommending an experience. Tell us about mobility, sensory or other accessibility requirements early so we can discuss the activities, venue and suitable arrangements with you.
How much does charity team building cost?
We prepare a tailored proposal based on your chosen program, participant numbers, location and event requirements. Share your budget early so we can recommend suitable options. We’ll explain the proposed experience, cost and agreed inclusions, including how the donation component works, so you can make an informed booking decision.
How long do charity team building activities run?
Many charity programs run for two to three hours, including LEGO Legends and Out of the Box. Timing varies by experience, with Bikes for Tykes offering a one to three-hour range. We’ll recommend a format around your available time, allowing space for the challenges, practical activity and any planned charity presentation.
Can you deliver charity team building for small teams and large groups?
Yes. Programs including LEGO Legends, Out of the Box and Bikes for Tykes cater for small teams through to groups of 1,000-plus, with minimum numbers varying by program. We recommend the format around your attendance, venue and timing, keeping participation and the shared purpose central to the experience.
Can charity team building fit into our conference or run at our workplace?
Yes. Many programs can come to your workplace or conference venue, with indoor and outdoor options. We’ll consider your agenda, available space and group size when recommending the experience. A charity program can give colleagues a shared challenge between business sessions, connecting the day’s conversations about teamwork and values with practical action.
We Value Community
