Wildlife House Making is a charitable team building activity where your group builds wildlife houses in support of biodiversity, with every finished house going to Grow for Life. After a welcome meeting and a word from the charity, your team splits into groups, guided by a woodworking expert who opens with a demonstration. An icebreaker game brings everyone together before the build begins. All equipment, aprons, tools and floor coverings, is provided, and once the houses are finished we arrange delivery to Grow for Life, followed by a post-event impact report.

What Happens at a Wildlife House Making Team Building Activity?
The event opens with a welcome meeting, followed by a word from Grow for Life to give your team context on the charity and the cause they're building for. Your group then splits into smaller groups, each taking on a wildlife house to build from scratch. A woodworking expert hosts the day, running a demonstration at the start so no prior experience is needed. An icebreaker game runs alongside the build, helping groups gel before the hands-on work begins. All equipment, aprons, tools and floor coverings, is provided for every group. Once the houses are complete, we arrange delivery of every finished house straight to Grow for Life.
Why Wildlife House Making Works for Teams
Wildlife House Making works because it asks something different of your team than the usual away day. Building a physical object from scratch takes focus, communication and a willingness to learn from the woodworking expert, while still leaving room for each group to put their own stamp on the finished piece. The charitable element runs through the whole event rather than sitting at the end as an afterthought: every house your team builds goes directly to Grow for Life, giving the day a clear purpose beyond the activity itself. The post-event impact report reinforces that, giving your team a concrete record of what the afternoon achieved for the charity.
Where Does Wildlife House Making Take Place?
Wildlife House Making can run at venues across the UK. We offer a free venue finding service, so enquire and we'll help find the right space for your group size and location. All equipment needed for the build, aprons, tools and floor coverings, is provided on the day, so there's nothing for you to source in advance. If you have a preferred venue or need somewhere close to your office, let us know when you enquire and we'll work around it.
