Looking for a CSR team building activity in Ireland with measurable impact?

SolarBuddy: Hour of Power is a hands-on CSR team building activity where your team assembles solar lights for communities living in energy poverty.

Alongside the experience itself, companies receive post-event impact data including devices assembled, lives impacted, CO₂ emissions reduced and study hours enabled. That gives organisations something tangible to support ESG and CSR reporting.

Your team will build the lights, learn about energy poverty and write personal letters to the children receiving them, creating a shared experience with measurable impact beyond the day itself.

How SolarBuddy CSR Team Building Events Work

A hands on CSR team building activity in Ireland where your team assembles solar lights for communities in need, creating lasting impact and stronger connections. As the process unfolds, each step helps your team understand the positive difference these lights make.

Planning & Coordination

Planning & Coordination

To begin, we confirm your event details, order your SolarBuddy kits and align the workshop with your company’s CSR objectives. If you have sustainability goals, we also ensure the activity fits perfectly into your corporate responsibility strategy.

Pre-Event Setup

Next, we prepare the space, check all tools and materials and make sure everything is ready for your team to take part in this meaningful CSR team building activity.

Event Facilitation

During the event, we introduce your group to SolarBuddy’s mission and the global challenge of energy poverty. You will see how solar lights transform communities, and then assemble the lights with guidance from our event managers and inspiring real world stories.

Quality Check & Packaging

After that, each light is tested to ensure it works properly. Your team will also write personal letters to the children receiving the lights, adding a human touch to this corporate social responsibility project. Finally, we pack the lights securely for shipment.

Wrap Up & Impact Sharing
