A staff activity day can be an opportunity to do more than bring colleagues together. For businesses looking to make a positive contribution to their community, it can also be a chance to create something practical that benefits others.
Recently, finance and data management company QMetrix held a staff activity day with a hands-on challenge: building bikes.
The team chose Anchor Community Care as the recipient of the bikes, which will support children and young people connected with Anchor’s foster and kinship care services.
The bikes are a fantastic example of how a workplace activity can create something tangible to give back to the community.
Turning a team activity into something meaningful
Staff days are an opportunity for colleagues to connect, collaborate and take on something different together. When the outcome is something that can be donated to a local community organisation, that shared effort can have a purpose beyond the workplace.
For QMetrix, building bikes gave the team a practical way to contribute. By donating them to Anchor, the company has helped provide bikes for children and young people supported through our foster and kinship care services.
We thank QMetrix for choosing Anchor to receive the bikes and for thinking about how its staff activity could help to put smiles on vulnerable children and young people in our community.
How businesses can support children and young people in their community
There are many ways businesses can make a difference, from donating useful goods to organising a staff activity around a community need.
For companies planning a team day, volunteering activity or workplace giving initiative, choosing a local charity to support can help connect staff participation with a meaningful community contribution.
At Anchor, practical donations can complement the support provided to children, young people and families across our services. The right contribution will depend on what a business can offer and what is useful to the people we support.
