Let’s face it—charity workers are a different breed of human. That’s why team building for charities is more than just another away day—it’s a thank you. While the rest of us are hitting snooze or refreshing our inboxes, these real-life superheroes are out there making the world a better place. Whether it’s supporting the homeless, protecting the planet, or caring for the vulnerable, they do it all with heart, hustle, and not a single thought for profit.
At Zing Events, we think it’s about time someone looked after them. A chance to reward, energise, and bring your amazing team even closer together. And yes, we offer all registered charities a 10% discount as a small nod to the massive difference you’re making.
Why Team Building for Charities Matters
Team building has a reputation—sometimes deserved—for being a bit too “corporate.” But for charities, it’s not about trust falls and awkward icebreakers. It’s about celebrating people who pour their energy into helping others every single day.
Whether you’re a local hospice, a mental health charity, or a global non-profit, team building offers:
- Recognition – A fun day out shows staff and volunteers they’re valued.
- Connection – It strengthens bonds across teams, departments, or locations.
- Resilience – After a challenging year, it boosts morale and mental wellbeing.
- Creativity – Our activities help teams switch off admin mode and switch on ideas.
Plus, let’s not forget: people who work for charities tend to be emotionally invested. Burnout is real. A good team building session can be a powerful antidote.
A Portfolio of Rewarding Experiences
At Zing Events, we don’t do boring. Our team building for charities options are varied, inclusive, and built to leave people feeling energised—not eyeing the clock.
🎯 Precision Games
Think crossbows, archery, and laser clays. Perfect for stress relief, competition, and discovering your team’s secret sharp-shooters. Great for breaking down hierarchy too—your head of fundraising might get shown up by the intern.
🧠 The Sphere
Our take on The Crystal Maze. Teams face off in themed zones, completing mental, physical, and skill-based challenges before diving into the golden ticket finale. It’s fast-paced, hilarious, and ideal for big teams.
🎭 Deceivers
Inspired by TV’s The Traitors, this indoor activity mixes mystery, deduction, and deception. Can your team figure out who’s hiding in plain sight? It’s social, strategic, and a brilliant bonding experience—especially for those who love a bit of drama.
⛳ Putt a Hole in Hunger
A charity favourite. Teams build a crazy golf course using food items that are later donated to local food banks via our partner, The Trussell Trust. It’s creative, collaborative, and gives back in more ways than one.
🏃♀️ Office Games
A retro-style sports day with sack races, tug-of-war and egg-and-spoon chaos. It’s a blast for hybrid teams looking for a no-fuss afternoon of feel-good fun.
And that’s just a taster. From escape rooms to creative workshops, virtual events to outdoor adventures—we’ll match your goals, budget, and group size.
