Testimonials

Team Building with Purpose delivered an incredible experience for our team. Partnering with the Starlight Children’s Foundation, the workshop perfectly blended collaboration, connection, and meaningful impact.We loved learning about the work Starlight does and contributing by creating “sparkler packs” to bring joy to sick kids. It’s rare to find a team building activity that is both engaging and purpose driven. This was truly special and something we’ll all remember.
Richard and the team ran a fantastic "Sparklers" session at a work team building conference. It was engaging, well organised, and created a really positive environment to connect with colleagues and meet new people. Really appreciated the effort that went into making such a great experience.
The Sparklers Session was a very rewarding and collaborative experience learning and being able to help the Starlight Foundation whilst improving our cooperation skills making toy hampers
Team building with Purpose presented an amazing session encompassing education and engaging activities.
Thank you to the team at Team Building with Purpose for the Star Light Sprinklers session. I've received only positive feedback from our team and it was a great way to end 2025. The Team Building with Purpose team have been a pleasure to deal with.
Each year I organise a corporate team building event to celebrate the year we have had, and its always an event that gives back to the community, those in need or a charity.Highly recommend Team Building with Purpose, Richard and Jenny were a pleasure to work with.They have multiple options for charity based events, we decided on Starlight Sparklers...who doesn't want to put a smile on a child's face even more so when they are facing into health issues.Very well run session, lots of fun and brought the team together to wrap up the year
Fantastic experience!! Richard was amazing and the whole team had a great time. Will absolutely do it again!
Has a great experience with TBWP, Richard was a great rep to have taking us through the course! Was very informative about Starlight and I particularly enjoyed the team bonding exercises.
A great team of people who delivered an amazing event at our Excellence Awards. Many thanks to Richard and the team.
Team Building with Purpose delivered an exceptional workshop as part of our Accelerate Leadership Program. The session was engaging, well-structured, and thought-provoking, blending leadership development with meaningful social impact. I particularly appreciated how they highlighted critical issues such as the lack of access for women to afford sanitary napkins, sparking important conversations about equity and inclusion. Their facilitators created an inclusive environment that encouraged collaboration and reflection, making the experience both inspiring and impactful. Highly recommended for organizations seeking purpose-driven team building.
Really great experience to be able to help an organisation who is dedicated to building awareness for causes in need of support
Thanks Richard for hosting the Starlight Sparklers session much appreciated!
Not your run of the mill team building activity. We had Richard from Team Building with a Purpose as our external facilitator as part of our leadership workshop. The activity was purpose driven, creating awareness and impact for Share The Dignity but also likening them to team building principles!
Jasmine was a fantastic and engaging facilitator and she lead a fun and purposeful activity, highly recommend!
Richard from Team Building with Purpose recently hosted an event at our Leadership course. Through story telling and visuals he brought the charity “Share the Dignity” to life and built a tangible and enduring emotional connection. Working in teams we then sourced products for a gift bag combining the usual elements of collaboration and competition with a powerful community purpose. One that makes a lasting impact. Thanks Richard for making our event so memorable and meaningful.
We recently had Team Building with Purpose facilitate a session for our team, and it was easily one of the best team-building experiences we’ve ever had. The activities were fun, interactive, and genuinely meaningful - striking a great balance between laughter, collaboration, and reflection.What stood out most was how purpose-driven the day felt. The facilitator kept everyone engaged while reminding us of the impact we were making through our chosen charity. It wasn’t just another corporate event...it left us inspired, connected, and proud to contribute to something bigger than ourselves.Highly recommend Team Building with Purpose for any organisation looking to build stronger teams while giving back in a truly authentic way.
Great Team Building session, highly recommend it, not boring and . glad to be a part of this great contribution.10/10
We had Richard from Team Building with Purpose run a Sustainability Day for our team, and it was a great experience. He kept everyone engaged with fun, interactive activities that sparked good conversations and teamwork. The session was not only enjoyable but also gave us practical ideas to support sustainability. I’d recommend Richard for any team looking for a meaningful and fun way to connect.
We had a corporate event facilitated by Team Building with Purpose. Claire was fantastic and we all had a great time. highly recommended!!
I recently had the privilege of attending a team building session hosted by Team Building with Purpose, supporting Women's Community Shelters. This wasn’t just another corporate activity, it was a deeply moving and thought-provoking experience that left a lasting impact.The session was beautifully designed to educate us about the realities of domestic violence and homelessness affecting women in our communities. The facilitator approached these sensitive topics with incredible kindness, dignity, and respect, creating a safe space for learning and reflection.What made it even more powerful was the hands-on activity: we purchased and assembled care hampers filled with essential items for real women currently living in shelters. Knowing that our efforts would directly support someone in need made the experience feel genuine and purposeful.It was engaging, emotional, and inspiring. I walked away not only feeling more connected to my team, but also more aware and empowered to make a difference. I highly recommend Team Building with Purpose to any organisation looking to foster empathy, connection, and meaningful impact through their team building initiatives.
Richard from Team Building with Purpose ran an engaging and interactive Sustainability Day session that had our whole team laughing, connecting, and learning.His funny and energetic style encouraged conversations and made the activities fun through gamification. We left inspired with practical sustainability tips and proud to support Clean Up Australia.Highly recommend Richard and Team Building with Purpose for any corporate team-building event that’s both meaningful and fun!
Our company appreciated the structure and presentation of the charity we were supporting, with empathy and heart at the very core of sensitive subjects. We loved spending the afternoon with Claire and Trudi in our offices - from the presentation, careful planning, execution and competition that made it a memorable afternoon for all those involved. The whole Team Building Event for us was meaningful and worthwhile, getting the message across that we can make a difference by starting with ourselves. Many thanks team!
Thanks to Team Building with Purpose. This team building event was one of our best. A great way to have fun, build camaraderie and support a worthy cause. The 3E Advantage team really enjoyed the day and being able to support the great work of Starlight Foundation made it all the more special.
We recently had Team Building with Purpose join us for our annual staff conference. We always seek to partner with organisations that support our efforts in providing our staff sessions that have real impact. We were so thrilled with how the session went, and especially having Richard as a knowledgeable facilitator to field all our questions. Our team were excited to be able to show their support for Aussie farmers who are doing it tough, whilst also working together with colleagues to put together care packs. From an organisational perspective, it was the perfect mix of education, personal development mixed with a fun team building activity. From a personal perspective, it was insightful to learn more about the nuances and real struggles of fellow Australians and how we can better support them. Keep up the amazing work, TBWP!
I believe this was the best team building session I've attended. Being able to see what life is like for others less fortunate than us is always humbling and inspiring, and shows that the subconscious restrictions that we sometimes place on others are not the limitations they place on themselves, that there is ability in every disability.Even if it means the next time we pass by a person with a disability and say g'day with a smile, then this day has been a huge success in making a difference and building understanding and empathy of things we often cannot comprehend.Having seen it with my own eyes (one auntie and 3 of my cousins had Huntingdon's, one is still alive but unable to do anything for herself) it's not easy to comprehend how a person can go from absolutely normal and functioning 100%, to zero in less than 10 years, a prisoner trapped inside their own body, an existence, not a life worth living. it reminds us to always be thankful for your own good health and that of your families, as life is too short and anything can change in a split second.
We had the absolute pleasure of doing a Team Building with Purpose session with Richard Duncan for our end of financial year celebration here at KHI Partners, and it was such a fun, engaging, and meaningful experience. Through the session, we got to learn about the incredible work with CPL – Choice, Passion, Life and the challenges people with disabilities face in their daily lives. Richard shared powerful insights, helped us reflect deeply, and taught us some basic sign language — which was both eye-opening and really fun to learn as a team.The challenges and activities were great for team bonding and left us with a stronger sense of empathy, purpose, and appreciation for inclusivity. Thank you, Richard, for such an informative and memorable experience. Highly recommend this session to any workplace or team looking to connect while learning something truly valuable!
I had an amazing experience with Richard and Team Building with Purpose. It was thoroughly engaging and most importantly, thought provoking. I would highly recommend this service to anyone considering it!
We took part in the 'Family Champions' session supporting the Redkite charity. It was an incredibly insightful session that brought the team together to better understand what family's go through and how they are supported by Redkite. Would recommend for a company team building session.
Great session bringing our teams together but with such a focus on such a special cause. Felt great to be a part of something that is making such an impact of peoples live
Team Building with Purpose was such a rewarding way to spend time as a team and learn about the incredible work that RedKite does. Highly recommend
Richard and the team were fantastic! Lots of activities to choose from that not only build strength within your team, but give back to your chosen cause. Thank you.
Richard led a brilliant session with the right balance of expanding our knowledge of Redkite, and providing us with valuable takeaways to implement into our day-to-day. Thank you!
Richard led an incredible team building session that was fun, engaging, emotional, and interactive. We loved building kites, and having great conversations connecting us as a team. Thank you Richard!
Quite rare to find a company that aligns Team Building Strategies with soulful connection. I've been in several Team Pow Wow over my career but I must say, this one really had an impact on me and my peers. The facilitator was exquisite in her delivery and really put life in perspective. I would absolutely commend all the superstars in this organisation. Thank you.
Alana facilitated an amazing event at my workplace recently. The charity we were supporting was Redkite who do amazing work in supporting children and families through difficult times. Alana delivered the meaning and purpose of Redkite, striking a balance of the emotions felt by many but also keeping it fun, resulting in us having a great team building event.
True to their name, Team Building with a Purpose facilitated an amazing yet meaningful session for our organisation. From initial contact, through to pre planning and execution, TBWP were truly amazing and professional at all times. Our facilitator - Richard Duncan was truly amazing - super knowledgeable, engaging and remains super helpful even post event! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a team building exercise which gives back and helps those in need!
Such an amazing event company that genuinely cares about people. They truly understand the importance of believing in each other, delivering respect and creating purpose and resolve. I can't wait to work with them again in the future. Thank you for the patience and time that you were able to do with different companies.
True to their name, Team Building with Purpose is precisely that. Our team had a fun, engaging, insightful and heartfelt experience coupled with an interactive friendly competition that resulted in the gift of giving to Farm Angels who support struggling Australian Farmers, I highly recommend TBwP for a team building activity.
I just wanted to extend my sincere thanks once again for your time. It was truly an incredible experience for both me and the team. Not only did we strengthen our team-building skills, but we also gained a deeper understanding of Beddown and the amazing work the organization is doing to support our homeless communities. It was both inspiring and eye-opening.”Nancy from Arch LMI
I attended a session at work run by Team Building with Purpose. The organization is making a real impact by connecting us to help those need supports to get back on track. The instructor shared her real life experience with us and empowered us to be strong and united when comes to support women and children going through domestic violence.
Highly recommended for all team building purposes! Great work and we hope to see you again
Attended a truly inspiring 'Sparklers' session by Team Building With Purpose for the Starlight Children's Foundation. Richard and his team's passion for making a difference shone through every moment. The interactive activities not only brought our team closer but also opened our eyes to the incredible impact Starlight has on sick kids' lives. Winning the team competition was fun, but the real prize was gaining a deeper understanding of how we can all contribute to brightening a child's darkest days. This session wasn't just team building; it was heart building. Highly recommend for any company looking to engage their staff while supporting a worthy cause!
Hearing the story of Red Kite gave an added level of purpose for our team building and encouraged all participants to be engaged.A fun filled session with some great reactions from our team. Thank you
Our second time participating with Team Building with a Purpose was just as great as the first time around! This time our entire company participated. It was a quick and FUN session - with lots of learnings, laughs, teamwork and collaboration. We all left the session feeling good about 'giving back' and appreciating what we all have. I would highly recommend doing an activity with Richard and team - you won't be disappointed!
Richard from Team Building with Purpose delivered an absolutely fantastic team bonding session, supporting the incredible work of Redkite.From the very start, Richard’s energy and enthusiasm created an engaging and uplifting atmosphere. The session was thoughtfully structured, with fun kite making activities that set the tone for a meaningful and rewarding experience.It was truly inspiring to see our team come together for such an important cause. Thank you, Richard, for an unforgettable session—we left feeling more connected, motivated, and grateful for the opportunity to support Redkite’s amazing work!
Great presentation and interactive session at a corporate conference in support of Starlight Kids Charity.
Thanks ro Richard and the team. I loved putting together the sparkle packs, amazing engagement at the tables and absolutely heartwarming to know we will help bring a smile to many kids faces.
