Add an Employee Volunteering Challenge

Team Challenge is when a group of employees from one (or more) companies volunteer to carry out a task for a voluntary or community organisation. This gives them the opportunity to learn different skills, build cross-functional teams and have some fun! Team Challenges can make a real difference to voluntary groups with limited funds and resources.

If you are a voluntary/community organisation working in Basingstoke and Deane that would like to provide a challenge to the business sector then all you have to do is complete the Employee Volunteering Challenge Form and return it to the Basingstoke Employee Volunteering in the Community Network

In order to fund the Network and ensure its sustainability and ongoing success it is necessary to charge for Team Challenges, but not for individual skills sharing projects.  If you are a Business and wish to join the Network so you can participate in a Challenge contact Vivien Harrison on 01256 423833 or send an email

Groups of employees from Barclays, Unum, AWE, Global Crossing, IBM, Shoosmiths and Alberto-Culver have taken part in a variety of Team Challenges in and around Basingstoke which have made a real difference to the community.

Examples could be:

Painting/Decorating: This could be a scout hut, community hall, classroom or public space.  Painting and Decorating
Gardening/Landscaping: This could be at a community garden, school or charity which uses gardening as therapy. Or it could be clearing a local black spot of weeds and litter.  Gardening
Conservation: Helping a local conservation group with tree planting or hedge laying.  Conservation
Day trip or Christmas or Summer Party: For children, disabled or frail elderly people.  Christmas Party
