This team-building exercise asks teams to spend a day maintaining the Honeypot grounds. The main purpose of this on-going project is to provide pleasant green spaces for the enjoyment of our children, many of whom are living in circumstances where safe outdoor play environments are not available. Benefits to organisations also include indirect development for employees, particularly in team work, motivation, morale-building and communication skills.

 

Examples of how this has worked

We have worked with companies such as RBS, Sony Ericsson, Bank of New York Mellon, Prudential and Sainsbury’s to bring teams of employees down to the house based in Hampshire. The most recent example is Sony Ericsson who bought 50 members of their team down for the day to work on clearing large amounts of brambles, painting the games area and doing work that our Groundsman simply doesn’t have the time to do. This in turn, created much more space and safe areas for the children who use Honeypot to play in. Corporate Volunteers who attend a Green Day do not need to be CRB’ed. They will be supervised by Honeypot staff at all times. Lunch & refreshments are provided on the day.    

Testimonials  

"We've had some great staff team building events in the past but this year we wanted something really different and something that really made a difference. Without exception, everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves finding the day challenging, rewarding and fun. We've been humbled by the gratitude expressed by all the staff at Honeypot. Every minute of our involvement was a pleasure and we're looking forward to our continuing relationship with the charity."  Simon Gilbert, Sony Ericsson
