Give a Hand
A hugely challenging and rewarding prosthetic hand team building experience that proves our attitude and our determination to tackle problems can make a positive, life-changing difference to those less fortunate.
How will the session run?
After a compelling keynote that we co-author with you, aligned with your organisational goals, our team deliver self-build prosthetic hand kits to delegate tables.
In groups of 3-5, participants are tasked with constructing a prosthetic hand from scratch that will be later fitted to an amputee in a developing country that has lost a limb.

What is the impact?
The ‘Give a Hand’ activity drives home the importance of purpose-driven work, reminding your team that every task they undertake has a positive impact, both inside and outside of the workplace.
Once the hands have been built, enclosed with your personal message, they are distributed and fitted to people across the developing world- changing their lives by giving them back the independence we take for granted.
To date, the Give a Hand programme has empowered over 80,000 individuals worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Give a Hand questions
Each kit includes all the components needed to assemble one complete prosthetic hand, along with the necessary tools for construction. It also comes with a blank protective travel case for the finished hand and decorative pens for personalisation. To support your build session, we provide step-by-step instructions on the day, with supporting videos.
A typical team of 3-4 people can complete the hand assembly in approximately 45 minutes. Timings can vary depending on the group size and ability. However a full session including warm up, energisers and de-brief is typically 60-90 minutes.
Each kit is designed for single use and to be donated as a completed device. While the experience is repeatable, the materials are intended for one build and not for disassembly or reuse.
Our Help Desk assistant will be on hand to offer full support and guidance on the day. Each prosthetic hand will undergo a quality check by our fully experienced technicians before it is fitted to a recipient.
Prosthetic hands are fitted to recipients across the world by our network of charity partners. Depending on the version your team builds, they could be fitted to a child (version 1) or adult (version 2). Once built and quality checked, we work alongside our distribution network to ensure they arrive where they’re needed most.
While we can’t guarantee the complete tracking journey for individual prosthetic devices – due to clinical delivery processes and doctor & patient confidentiality – we can still share a general update on the hand distribution placements since your event. Individual teams can choose (at their own discretion) to attach their email address to their completed hand if they would like to hear back from the end recipient.
