Charity Bike Build

Our Charity Bike Build program was a rewarding experience, they were pleasantly surprised when the kids came to collect their bikes. Everyone had a great time and it definitely brought out the competitive nature of the team, we would definitely recommend this for a future event. The co-ordination was great, didn’t have to worry about anything. Darren was fantastic, he knew his stuff and made it really enjoyable for the team.

The team thoroughly enjoyed the games and the bike build. Some activities were quite challenging which brought out the competitive streak in a few of us! The event was coordinated very well the team that we had gave us clear instructions and reassured teams that were losing hope. A wonderful day thoroughly enjoyed by all. Looking forward to using you again.

Everyone really enjoyed themselves during our Charity Bike Build. Good challenges, allowed good participation within each small team, lots of creative thinking for the tasks such as pasta towers, and puzzle solving. The facilitation was great – lots of energy was injected into the afternoon. Good structure so people knew what they all had to do, clear instructions and it met the 2.5 hour timeframe that we had allowed for. Keep up the good work – thanks Jason.

The entire team thoroughly enjoyed the day. It engaged everyone, was fun, provided learning for us and had a great compassionate outcome for the children who received the bicycles. Excellent coordination, very easy. Darren was very professional, personable and engaging. A well balanced facilitator who responds well to the needs of the group and the interaction levels of different people. Keep doing what you do well, it really was one of the best sessions of it’s kind I have attended. Well done and thank you on a wonderful (half) day. Our objectives were met and our expectations exceeded. I’ll definitely be spreading the word within the wider JLL team about this event with Total Team Building.

Our Charity Bike Build program was probably the best team building we have ever done!

Thanks so much for a fabulous night.. it has gone down very well. Much appreciated, will stay in touch and hope to use you again next year!!

We all loved the Charity Bike Build! Jason was an excellent facilitator. Very well explained instructions. A lot of fun!

The coordination was seamless from start to finish, so easy to book in. I hardly had to lift a finger. Jason was excellent! Very fun!

With this particular group, we haven’t held activities  that were more ‘fun’ and less work related. It was a great change and everyone had positive feedback about the Charity Bike Build program.  We got to see more of the staff’s creative and competitive side come out.

On initial contact everyone was accommodating and flying your facilitator over from Sydney was really appreciated!  Louisa you are lovely to deal with, very clear and not pushy!

The day itself was conducted well, once again – it didn’t feel rushed but the entire 2 hours was used well.

Deryn was very approachable and engaging. He was able to hold everyone’s interest and present with a smile!

Great opportunity to be able to do something to give back to the community yet still have that team bonding environment.

Great organization by team. The lead up to our event was very straight forward and  clear. All details were covered and our expectations well managed.

Both Jason and Deryn were great. They were there early to get everything set up and ready to go by the time the team arrived. They set the tone for an engaging, enthusiastic session.

It was a really nice touch to be able to have a rep from the charity available to come and talk to the team about exactly where the bikes were going and what type of work they do.

The feedback received by the participants regarding our Charity Bike Build was really positive. This is the second year we have engaged Total Team Building to organise a program for us. Compared to the one done last year, I have noticed that to add a charity activity was really a highlight and everybody was thankful about having the possibility of participating in it. We were 100% satisfied with the facilitation. Darren had a great attitude and charisma. Thank you for a good service and client support.

We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants regarding our Charity Bike Build program. On a scale from 1(bad) to 10 (good) 94% of participants scored the day with 10 (42%), 9 and 8. The team building activity was mentioned by most of the participants in the top 3 things they appreciated about the away day event. The co-ordination and facilitation was in one word: flawless. I appreciated the professionalism and communication of Total Team Building and would highly recommend them to my colleagues. A big “thank you” to Total Team Building team, especially for organizing for the kids to come along. Furthermore, I was very impressed that safety was as important to organisers as it is important to Shell – having the bikes checked and fixed by a professional.

The team absolutely love it, it was a day of fun and heart warming to see the kids’ faces.

It was well coordinated, all communications leading to the day have been seamless and clear. I really like how we have been kept informed all the way/ A true professional team. Also the extra touch (water and sunscreen and chairs) is very highly appreciated (you don’t know how much this has helped our logistics and getting there on the day).

Darren has done a good job with instruction & engaging all participants.

A great day out, thank you for taking the effort to get all the kids in. The most valuable day for participants is the end where they see the kids faces so this part is crucial. Thank you very much!

Our South32 team was very pleased with the whole Charity Bike Build program. We had a very cultural and age diverse group, however, everyone was able to participate in all activities which was great. Our entire team left the day feeling a true sense of achievement and purpose. Thank you! Darren did a top job as our facilitator. He was charismatic, relaxed and interactive but kept the activity on schedule.

Our Charity Bike Build was great – a really good way to get out of the work head space and into having fun and team building. We received good feedback from the team and they enjoyed it thoroughly. Nicole was very confident and friendly and also kept to time well. It was great – we only wish we had more time to spend on team building! Thank you

The Charity Bike Build was fantastic! The challenges the teams did were great & entertaining…but the main event was awesome! When the bikes were built and our franchisees realized these were for little kids who didn’t get a lot, the mood in the room changed. The facilitation was brilliant! Even with 1 weeks’ notice the event was run perfectly! Chad was awesome on the day – arrived early, responded great with our team, took charge & delivered a great lot of challenges! Well done! We were, still are, extremely happy that we chose Total Team Building and the activity that we did. Hats off to Chad, for facilitating so well!

Total Team Building were very professional through all aspects of organising (booking through to execution). The task was a bit left field which was great and the concept of donating the bikes to a children’s charity is a great way for us to contribute back to the community. To that end the senior managers and graduates were very impressed with the event. Both (coordination and facilitation) were terrific. Very prompt reply to emails, sometimes that little bit of extra effort goes a long way and is noticed by people (such as myself)! Katie had to help with a lot of additional work but was always pleasant and helpful to get it done (I doubt I would have been so) Darren was a great facilitator, he was engaging, professional and funny. Great job guys! Everyone had an awesome time and was really impressed and said it’s one of the best team building events that has been done (and we do a lot of team building events…)

Our team really enjoyed the day and all the different challenges leading up to the bike build. I think it was great how all the challenges gave the teams points so it wasn’t just based on the bike build. The event was very well coordinated by total team building, it all ran smoothly with no issues. We thought Darren was fantastic, he explained everything really well and it was easy to understand. He did it all with a smile also. I feel that your company did such a great job. From the moment I started speaking with Katie to try and get the event booked in, to the day of the event. Everything ran smoothly and everyone had fun whilst donating our bikes to a great cause. Well done Total Team Building!! It was really great day, we would definitely use your company again in future.

For most of our employees our Charity Bike Build was the highlight of their day on Monday! Our management team were surprised by some people’s reaction to it (some introverts stepped in and took over the activity with the kids and not leaving them until they were almost on the bus). This gave us a window into some people that will help build more fulfilling relationships on site. The coordination from Total Team Building was very good, Katie and Darren did a lot of preparation and really listened and understood what we needed to get out of the event. The facilitation were very good as well. It was good that I could take part in the activity without having to worry about what needs to happen next. Thank you for a very well organized and facilitated event! It really hit the mark by giving our employees perspective and a way in which they could contribute to the community. These activities goes a long way in adding purpose to your job and feeling that you can make a difference even in a small way!

It was absolutely fantastic and we really can’t thank you enough.  It was amazing how everyone banded together to achieve the outcomes.  The little girls were a delight and I was so thankful that you were able to organise it.  I think it left everyone a bit speechless!
