Learn more about our first CSR programme, Give a Hand and discover why it is one that is close to our hearts.
Give a Hand Team-Build
For any company that is looking for a CSR team building experience, Give a Hand is a great one to start off with.
Itโs hugely challenging and rewarding for delegates involved, as it offers the opportunity to bring groups together to work on one clear goal – building a prosthetic hand that will be later fitted to an amputee elsewhere in the world.
It teaches your people how to communicate, how to navigate challenges and how to work with others towards a common goal.
We have had such positive feedback throughout the years upon completion of the team building experience – and we are very lucky that our clients have grown with us, completing both our Give a Hand and Water Works team building experiences.
After our recent CSR event in New York for Merck, one participant shared their thoughts on their Give a Handย experience:
โThis was one of the best team building experiences Iโve ever done. So emotional and brought us together quickly to achieve the same goal of making a hand for someone in need. Thank you.โ – Merck delegate
Distribution of the Prosthetic Hands
As you can see, we have had a very busy September delivering to another Prosthetic Hand Distribution Clinic! The prosthetic hands built by our clients have been making their way all over the world, changing lives in the process.
We want to take the opportunity to thank those who have taken part in the programme recently, including our session this month with Merck, in Philadelphia, PCMA in Vienna and those who got involved during our showcase at IMEX, Las Vegas.
Team-building doesn’t have to be just an activity, it can be an opportunity to make a real impact for those who need it most.
- Have a look at where the hands have been received this month around the worldโ what a fantastic achievement!
The Give a Hand experience proves our attitude and our determination to tackle problems can make a positive, life-changing difference to the future of those less fortunate.
Whatโs involved in this CSR Team Build?
After a compelling keynote that we can co-create with you – whereby we can integrate your company vision and align with your organisational goals – our team deliver self-build prosthetic hand kits to delegate tables. Participants are tasked with constructing a prosthetic hand from scratch that will be later fitted to a recipient, either child or adult, in a developing country that has lost a limb.
The CSR team build reinforces a sense of collaboration alongside a feeling of purpose and determination. With participants saying itโs something they will remember forever; it pulls at the heart strings and delivers immeasurable levels of emotional connection between team members.
Our client, GSK came away from their team-building day saying that,
โThis is the most impactful activity our team has ever done. Amazing cause.โ – GSK delegate
Once the hands have been built, enclosed with the teamโs personal message to the recipient, they are distributed to people across the developing world changing their lives by giving them back the independence we take for granted. It allows them to feed themselves, write for themselves and transforms their ability to live a normal life all because your team have had the generosity, the commitment, and the ambition to change the life of someone they havenโt even met yet.
