Our StudentBuddy experience is more than just a team build – it’s one of the most meaningful charity team building activities available for organisations looking to connect people with purpose while delivering measurable social impact.
Designed in partnership with SolarBuddy, this immersive experience helps bridge the digital divide by providing clean light, device charging and access to opportunity for families living in energy poverty around the world.
As the UK’s exclusive partner of SolarBuddy, KDM Events delivers powerful charity team building events that go far beyond traditional CSR initiatives. Rather than feeling like an add-on, this team build creates an emotional, hands-on connection to the impact participants are making – strengthening teams while creating a legacy that lasts long after the event ends.
Participants are taken on an inspiring journey that places them at the heart of the experience. Working in teams of three to four, guests collaborate to assemble a StudentBuddy device — a compact yet powerful solar light that provides up to 50 hours of clean light while also functioning as a USB charging device.
Along the way, teams gain valuable insight into the realities of energy poverty and the challenges faced by communities without reliable access to electricity. Each participant also has the opportunity to write a personal message of hope, creating a powerful human connection beyond the event itself.
At the conclusion of every programme, all completed devices are donated to children, families and communities worldwide — helping provide safe light, education opportunities and essential access to power. The result is one of the most impactful charity team building activities available today: a hands-on experience that strengthens teamwork, inspires purpose and delivers tangible social change.
Following your event, your organisation will also receive a personalised Impact Report, showcasing the difference your team has made. For your event receive a report that shows:
