Would you like to take your event to a whole new level of employee satisfaction, creating a truly holistic experience that will benefit the animals you are working with in a much wider context?

While this kind of idea will not be for everyone, for clients looking for that something extra we believe combining your team build with fundraising will be the perfect tie-in. It could be an excellent way to really define your event, as you take what you do on the day and learn about its place in the wider context. As we then feed back on the outcomes of your fundraising the sense of achievement and team effort will increase. It is also a great way of meeting Corporate Social Responsibility targets, and we would aim to identify charitable causes that link somehow to the company goals. This, in turn, would be communicated through recognition on our own and the chosen charities social media and other platforms.

To ensure any fundraising efforts go directly to the source, all proposals will be through colleagues and organisations known to us through our wide charitable network. All proposals would relate directly to either on the ground support or tools/infrastructure that will make a real difference. While proposals will involve a total target to aim for, each one will be broken down into several steps of fundraising, so that those involved will be able to see what can be achieved at each level and in case the total is not reached, that those efforts have still been well worth it.

Whatever angle you wish to take, our aim will be to present you with 2-3 options so you really can find a project that inspires you, and take the work that we do and the benefits that you get from your event to a whole new level!
