Core Landscapes can offer team-building days helping to for fill your corporate social responsibility criteria. Our out-of-the-office days can cover a range of activities depending on the season and what needs doing – but whatever time of year they are always;

• Fun and rewarding
• Bespoke
• Well-organised,
• Fully supported

We can cater for small or large groups. We aim to create a bespoke day based on your specific requirements. As we have quite a large site our activities can include challenging physical work or gentler more focused work, depending on the needs of the people taking part.

By engaging in our innovative project you will be helping to keep an otherwise unused piece of Canning Town land accessible to the local community – promoting good health and happy wildlife in the process.

Charges
We are a small charity and we request our partners cover our staff time and materials. Please contact us directly if you are interested in discussing further.
We look forward to hearing from you.
