How Our Charity Guitar Build Team Building Event Unleashed Creativity and Unity
The delegates discovered new sides to each other’s personalities
Case Study: Charity Guitar Build Team Building Event – Breaking New Ground
At Rock & Roll Experience, we recently had the privilege of running a charity guitar build team building event for a company celebrating its 40th anniversary. This was no ordinary workshop – it was their first team building day in the company’s history, and expectations were understandably mixed.
The Challenge
With 60 delegates attending, the client was concerned that staff might be shy, reserved, or unwilling to fully engage. After decades of working together, would they open up? Would the activity feel forced or superficial?
What Happened
What unfolded was something entirely different. The group threw themselves into the charity guitar build team building event with enthusiasm. We saw sides of personalities that seldom emerged in everyday work: the creative side, the collaborative side. People who normally kept quiet stepped up; teams found new ways to support one another; laughter, colour, ideas all came flooding in.
By the end of the day, the delegates had constructed six fully working electric guitars. But more than that, they bonded in ways that staff surveys might never capture. Trust deepened, barriers dropped, and their shared achievement became something to talk about every time they pass a guitar in the office or hear of the schools where the instruments will be donated.
Impact & Outcomes
- Creativity & Empowerment: Participants experimented, designed, problem-solved together. Even the initial reservations melted away.
- Collaboration & Connection: Cross-department bonds, mentoring, helping hands when needed – teamwork was not optional, it became natural.
- Purpose & Giving Back: The guitars built were destined for local schools, enabling children to have access to instruments and music. The event wasn’t just fun; it had lasting social impact.
What the Client Said
“Matt and his team put together a truly memorable Charity Guitar Building Workshop for our company away day. They managed to engage an initially slightly sceptical group of 60+ people really quickly and kept the energy and enthusiasm going for the full 2 hour session.” Kate – Turnaround Pubslihing
Plus, the guitars they built weren’t just props – they were real working instruments that will go to schools.
