Helping Hands
Helping Hands - CSR Team Building Activity
The Helping Hands Program is a truly unique opportunity for organisations to get involved with a worthwhile cause at the same time as super-charging employee engagement.
This is CSR team building at its best.
More than just a team building or training activity, participants in our programs build prosthetic hands that are then donated to amputee landmine victims throughout the developing world.
The activity empowers every participant that in just 1-2 hours, you can make real and lasting contribution and in doing so reminds people what it feels like to be engaged in a truly purposeful activity.
The program aims to provide 25,000 prosthetic hands globally. It’s a team building experience with real purpose and connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Small teams of 3-5 people each receive a bag of parts and little idea of what lies ahead.
Our facilitator then introduces the program that changes the perspective. Sharing personal stories, photos and stats of the profound impact that this program has on the recipients who will end up receiving one of these hands.
In a little over 1 hour, each team will need to work together to construct their mechanical hand until they can try it on and make sure it’s functional.
There are detailed instructions provided, so all groups are set up for success. As an added challenge, normally guests bind one of their hands during the build process to further remind them of why they are doing the activity.
At the end of the build, Teams will also decorate the storage case the hand will be delivered in, as well as have a photo taken that will be included with the hand so the recipient can see the faces of those who are sending love from across the world along with their new and life-changing prosthetic hand.
Helping Hands works best when there are 3 people in each group. Having smaller numbers ensures that the activity is as challenging as possible. There are also a few pinch-points in the build where everyone in the team will need to work together on the same step.
However it’s still highly effective when you have groups of four or five individuals. This not only maintains the effectiveness of the activity but also offers a slightly more cost-effective option for larger teams.
So whether it’s three, four, or five in your group, Helping Hands is a team building activity that adapts to your needs, fostering teamwork and shared success working towards one goal.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Not only is this a wonderful exercise designed to enable teamwork, communication and being able to support others – but it also provided a barrel load of laughs throughout the exercise.
The Hidden Door team were fantastic and played a key role in a fabulous experience. Five stars!
Hidden Door are easy to communicate and very prompt in their reply. They're the best team providers in this space.
Will definitely use them again.
Everyone was super keen to get involved in such a great cause and we weren't disappointed. The workshop was confronting, in a good way, and really made us experience some of the challenges that land mine victims face every day. To be able to contribute in such a meaningful way was an honour for us. Thank you!
