This week, we’re thinking about partnering with local businesses throughout the year to raise awareness of us and our work, and helping the local business raise their own profile and benefit from all of the good that comes with Charity Partnerships. Today, we're looking at Team Building.
All successful companies, large or small, rely on strong relationships in the workplace. There are few better ways of achieving these strong relationships than by bonding over a charitable cause, sponsored by your employer.
Having your teams get together in a new environment, for a common cause, is an excellent way to bond, especially for employees who wouldn't normally work together.
The result – improved relationships, better communications, stronger team work, a positive outlook on life, all of which transfer to the workplace. Team building days don't always have to be "corporate", they can be quite the opposite, such as our flagship event, the Teens Unite "It's a KnockOut Family Fun Day".
You can book tickets for the It's a Knockout Fun Day now. And, if you'd like to know more about partnering with Teens Unite through 2018, please get in touch.
Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Nathan, 23, VolunteerTeens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
Jess, 22, Teen, Acute Myeloid LeukaemiaWhen Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
David, Parent to Elliot, 18, Non-Hodgkins LymphomaI needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.

Leanne, 21, Teen, Acute Lymphoblastic LeukaemiaIf it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
Derry, 20, Teen, Brain TumourMy wife inspired me to volunteer following her fight against cancer. I wanted to help others carry on living their lives the way she did. And that's exactly what Teens Unite does.
