Make Christmas Count

Later than you would think, though the first three weeks of December are the ones that fill. If your date is tight, ring us on 0330 113 7170 and we will tell you honestly whether we can crew it.

Yes. Most builds need a table and a bit of floor, so a hotel function room or the space you have already booked is usually fine. We are set up before your team walks in.

An o3e team leader to run the whole thing from the front, plus the music, the decorations, the Christmas quizzes, the games, the prizes and all the build kit. We set up before your team arrives and clear away afterwards. You bring the people. We bring the party.

It depends on the event and the size of your group, because the cost is largely the items you are donating. As a guide, the skateboard build starts at £60 per person and the bike build at £80 per person, and both come down as numbers go up. Tell us a rough headcount and a date and we will send a straightforward quote with the number of items your team will be making.

Anywhere from six to two thousand. Smaller teams usually run one of our small group challenges, and very large groups run in waves so everybody builds something.

Most events run between one and three hours. The short format builds fit inside a conference agenda and the full builds suit an away day.

It goes to the charity, normally the same day and often collected in front of your team. A few weeks later you get feedback from the recipients that you can share internally, so your team sees where the bikes or skateboards actually ended up.

That is the point of running it in December. Wherever the charity can get to you, they collect on the day. Where they cannot, we deliver on their behalf and send you the photographs.

No. The same experiences run just as well as an inclusive end of year celebration. We drop the festive framing and keep the build, the challenges and the charity outcome. This is a common request from global and multi faith teams and it changes nothing about the day.

Yes, two ways. We can post everything to each site and your team runs the session themselves, or we can run a virtual festive challenge where everyone joins from wherever they are and earns items for charity care packs. Both end with a real donation.

No. Almost every event runs in a room you already have, whether that is your own office, a hotel function room or a conference space. We tell you exactly what the space needs when we quote.
