Social Giveback
BEYOND SOCIAL GIVEBACKS
Whether for an Employee Day, a Christmas Party or an Off-site event, social giveback programs make for great team building activities. Employees have fun while getting to know one another better and feel great about helping out less fortunate members of the community.
We can work with your own charity or recommend some that we like to work with.

This is the perfect opportunity to help the homeless or disadvantaged in your area.
​
This programme allows you and your team to prepare snack packs filled with treats and essential foods for the homeless.
​
The main challenges are streamlining their processes, collaborating with other stations, managing their time properly and being open-minded about adapting or changing plans along the way. Ultimately, the more
they produce, the more people they will reach with their kindness.
​
The food in the snack packs is specially selected in coordination with the shelters we serve, including Covenant House in Vancouver, the Ottawa Mission and the Old Brewery Mission in Montreal.
Hope for the Homeless
More than just food for thought
I wanted to tell you how much our employees enjoyed the visit to Parliament as much as
doing the kits at the mission. They also appreciated the energy and enthusiasm of Marc
M. It’s always a pleasure to work together.” Chantal Villeneuve, SANOFI

While team building promotes interpersonal growth within each group, Bikes for Tykes fosters growth within the community.
​
The event starts with a few warm-up exercises to promote communication, planning, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing skills. After a few twists and turns, every member of the team should know how to build a bike. It doesn’t matter how many you are, each participant is held accountable.
​
More surprises follow as teams are tasked with building the most bikes possible. The teams are also encouraged to personalize the bikes and to write a letter for the recipient through which corporate values can be incorporated.
Bikes for Tykes
A truly moving experience
“We truly appreciated the experience and participating in the team building event with [Beyond]. This event is very touching, knowing that our bikes were donated to a wonderful organization.”

Teddy, Set, Go! is a social giveback team-building activity that allows participants to bring a sense of safety and support by creating a little superhero to be given to a child in need.
​
Participants are tasked with assembling a stuffed animal from materials provided, including furs, stuffing, costumes and custom elements. Once the “easy” part is completed, it is time to take it to the next level by tapping into your creative side and decorating the new furry friend.
This program is ideal for teams looking for ways to practice the value of planning, working with various skill sets and personalities, and having the courage to step out of their comfort zones in order to accomplish a common goal. Participants afraid of failing can look to colleagues for help and need only to think about the brave child who will receive the gift of inspiration and courage.
