Share A Bear is a creative charity team building experience where your team will make teddy bears that are donated to children entering emergency care. Alongside crafting the bears, participants take part in entertaining challenges, create personalised bear T-shirts, and write heartfelt messages for the children who will eventually receive them.

It is team building with heart, bringing people together through a shared goal while supporting an incredibly worthwhile cause.

Every completed bear will be donated to the Buddy Bag Foundation, our charity partner for this activity. The charity supports children who have entered emergency care after fleeing difficult and often traumatic situations at home.

The bears become part of Buddy Bags containing essential and comfort items for these children, providing a reassuring companion during an extremely unsettling time.

We begin with a short and powerful video explaining where your bears will go and the difference they can make. Your team will then tackle a selection of fun teddy bear-themed challenges that encourage communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving.

As challenges are completed, participants earn the materials required to make their bears. Everyone then gets creative by bringing their own bear to life, designing a unique T-shirt, and writing a thoughtful message for its future recipient.

Each participant will make their own teddy bear, so everyone can personally contribute to the final donation.

This individual involvement within a shared team experience is one reason Share A Bear works so well for charity team building days. Rather than simply hearing about a good cause, your colleagues can make something tangible that will directly contribute to it.

Before creating their bears, teams will work through themed challenges designed to get their colleagues communicating, sharing ideas, and solving problems together.

These activities add energy and friendly interaction to the experience while giving participants a common objective. For businesses wanting office team building activities that feel purposeful rather than forced, Share A Bear offers an engaging alternative to conventional team challenges.

Creativity is an important part of the experience, particularly when participants design their bears’ T-shirts.

When designing the bears’ outfits, your team can experiment with ideas, colours, and designs to give each bear its own personality. No artistic experience is necessary: the focus is on getting involved, enjoying the process, and creating something special.

Share A Bear combines social interaction, hands-on creativity, and charitable giving, making it a great choice for organisations looking for a positive and meaningful group experience.

It offers teams an opportunity to move away from their everyday workplace responsibilities, spend quality time together, and focus their energy on helping others.

Share A Bear is designed for groups of 10 to 100 people. This makes it suitable for smaller departments as well as larger company groups.

If you are exploring charity team building days for a whole team, our event can provide an experience where everyone contributes towards the same rewarding outcome.

The full Share A Bear experience lasts approximately two hours, including the team challenges and bear-making activities.

We can also offer a shortened one-hour version by removing the challenges. Your team will still watch the introductory video, stuff their bears, create the T-shirts, and write their message tags. This is particularly useful when you need to fit multiple office team building activities into one busy company schedule.

Share A Bear is an indoor activity available at suitable venues throughout the UK. Whether you are planning a dedicated team building day out, company away day, conference activity, or an experience alongside another corporate event, our team can help you incorporate Share A Bear into your plans.

We require tables and chairs for your guests, giving everyone a comfortable workspace for the practical and creative elements of the activity.

We will also need two 6ft x 2ft trestle tables for our equipment. Having these requirements arranged in advance helps everything run smoothly on the day.

Share A Bear creates a powerful connection between teamwork and positive social impact. Your colleagues are not completing challenges simply to win points; their combined efforts lead to something that can offer genuine comfort to a child experiencing an incredibly difficult moment.

For companies seeking charity team building days with an authentic purpose, it provides a memorable way to bring people together while supporting the Buddy Bag Foundation.

The lasting impact is what makes this experience particularly special. Your team finishes the session having strengthened connections, enjoyed a creative challenge, and produced a collection of bears destined to comfort children in need.

It is rewarding to see all those bears together at the finale and know exactly why they were made. Your team’s creativity becomes something much bigger; a practical expression of care, comfort, and hope.

Simply get in touch with Firebird Events to discuss your preferred date, location, guest numbers, and event requirements. We can help you decide whether the full two-hour experience or streamlined one-hour format works best for your plans.

If you want charity team building days or office team building activities that your colleagues can feel genuinely proud to have taken part in, Share A Bear is a heart-warming way to create, connect, and make a difference.
