Team building with an ulterior motive.
WorkFriends is an initiative by The Great Friendship Project - an award-winning movement tackling the loneliness epidemic in young adults. Your away day is how we fund the fight.
We learned how to make strangers into friends. Then teams asked us how.
The Great Friendship Project started with a simple observation: making friends as an adult is hard, and nobody talks about it. So we built events designed for connection - hundreds of them - and a community of over 55,000 people grew around it.
Along the way we became rather good at getting rooms of strangers talking, laughing and competing. Companies noticed. WorkFriends is the answer: the same connection-first design, pointed at workplaces.
Every game is built and run by the same team behind our community events - people with lived experience of loneliness, not an events agency with a slide deck.
Where the money goes
Free & low-cost community events
Profits from every corporate booking subsidise our community events - so that money is never the reason someone stays lonely.
Research & campaigning
We publish research on adult loneliness and campaign to get social connection taken seriously - by employers, policymakers and the public.
Growing the movement
New cities, new hosts, new formats - your booking helps us reach the people who need a community most.
Every booking helps fund our work to raise awareness of loneliness and build friendships. Book an away day, fund someone's first friendship. That's the deal.
