We believe in using teamwork to make a real difference. That’s why we were proud to partner with New Forest for Ukraine to support their incredible efforts in providing aid to those affected by the ongoing conflict. Together, we designed a unique team experience that combined community impact with team building fun: a bespoke version of our popular ‘Thrift for a Gift’ scavenger hunt.

In this event, corporate teams were given a carefully curated wishlist of essential items—including toiletries, non-perishables, warm clothing, and medical supplies—based on real-time needs identified by New Forest for Ukraine. Teams raced against the clock to source and collect as many items as possible, working from charity shops, local stores, and donation hubs. Each team packed their collected items into a suitcase, effectively building a complete care package ready for distribution.
This format turned a standard donation drive into an engaging, purposeful activity that brought colleagues together for a shared cause. It also gave companies a meaningful way to contribute to humanitarian relief while encouraging collaboration, problem-solving, and empathy.
The completed suitcases were handed over to New Forest for Ukraine’s logistics team, who ensured they were sent directly to communities in need. We’re proud to have supported such an impactful initiative and grateful to all the teams who took part.

These bikes are then donated to local charities, offering mobility and freedom to individuals and families in need.
The event is split into two main sessions. Teams first compete in a series of engaging head-to-head challenges, earning points and building camaraderie. These points can later influence the resources or tools allocated during the bike-building portion. Once the competitive phase concludes, participants channel their energy into assembling bikes using high-quality kits and guided instructions.

The challenge is as strategic as it is heartwarming. Teams must barter, budget, and think creatively to gather as many quality items as possible. Each package can include essentials like warm socks, hygiene products, snacks, and comforting extras such as books or small toys.
