Charity Team Building at Christmas Time

At this time each year it’s refreshing to see some clients putting an emphasis on leaving a lasting charitable legacy from their conferences, team building events and end of year functions. One of the nicest ways we see this happen is via our “Team Toy Story” events where a client engages us to help source one or more worthy children’s charities who will become the beneficiaries of a range of great kid’s toys. Each initially team competes in a variety of tailored team challen

A Super Hero themed artwork is created by the real life Super Heroes from 'Act for Kids'.

We recently had the pleasure of working with the sensational team from ‘Act For Kids’ who are a charity that works tirelessly for the prevention and treatment of child abuse. As a component of their team building day the activity concept “Picture Perfect” was selected and small sub-teams needed to plan and collaborate cross-functionally to create one masterpiece from many separate components.

Charity Team Building - Compassion Through Fashion for Breast Cancer Awareness

Sabre has recently delivered a tailored version of our Fashion Fiasco team building challenge for Breast Cancer Awareness at IHG Sanctuary Cove with Women in Tourism.

Bikes for charity is a nice legacy from a team building event.

Recently we have conducted quite a few different versions of our "Whose Bike Is This Anyway?" conference team building event. Teams initially compete in point winning tasks and challenges tailored for the required location, duration and desired levels of complexity (anything from pure fun to high-end business games). Points are eventually exchanged for bike components that teams initially feel will be for a big competitive race, only to find out the bikes are for a much bette

Two different team building themes for Employers Mutual at their Gold Coast leadership retreat.

The leadership team from Employers Mutual recently experienced two quite different team building experiences in one day at the Gold Coast Marriott. In the morning they were surprised by a light hearted commando raid, put into military fatigues and briefed for the high-end business game Battlespace.
