In May 2011, a team of volunteers from Paramount constructed a multi-scene set for the Teen Spirit Urban Musical, which had been conceived, written and performed by members of Teen Spirit. This time-lapse film shows what an amazing job Paramount did, and how a corporate volunteer day at Body & Soul requires creativity, energy and teamwork. Thanks to Paramount for this amazing video.

Our volunteering days offer an outstanding team building experience to organisations who are interested in making a real difference and giving back to the local community.
They are designed to motivate employees and develop a range of creative, communication and interpersonal skills, with an emphasis on increasing participants’ awareness of the issues around HIV.
We offer team volunteering days for corporate groups ranging in size from 6 to 60. We tailor the day to meet your team’s size, skills and requirements, and a typical volunteering day might look something like this:
10am Meet at our purpose-built centre and begin with a tour to find out more about our members and the work we do to support them.
10.30 Paint The Building Challenge. We believe that keeping the building looking beautiful plays an important part in showing our members that they are thought about and valued. But we couldn’t do it without your help! Bring your team together to work towards a common goal and give an area of the building a makeover.
12.30 The team breaks for lunch and heads over to the food stalls and cafes on nearby Exmouth Market. Alternatively, teams are welcome to bring their own lunch, or Body & Soul can provide food for an additional charge.
13.30 HIV Gameshow Challenge. Split into two rival teams and put your HIV knowledge to the test!
14.00 Creative Challenge in the Children’s Centre. Each week the children’s centre explores a different theme, and we need you to help us prepare props and activities for the children. Recent teams have transformed the centre into Narnia, made a chariot and armour for Roman Night, and built a mini cinema.
16.00 The group comes together for team photos and to review the day.
We charge a cover fee of £35 per head to cover materials, staff and admin costs, and we provide hot and cold drinks throughout the day.
