As anyone who runs their own business knows, it isn’t always plain-sailing. Last year certainly wasn’t for us.

Fortunately, as three brothers, we’ve always had each other’s backs.

This year, we’ve written a new chapter and have been able to grow thanks to some fantastic clients, both old and new, that have trusted us to create spaces that are designed specifically for them, their communities and their people.

We are incredibly excited to share our journey going forward and to show the work that we just f*cking love doing.

Thinking about developing a new space at your school this year?

Take a moment to enjoy some lunchtime reading with the latest edition of School Fundraising Magazine from PTA+ Parent Teacher and Friend Associations!

On page 7, we feature the exciting project we completed for a local primary school in East Devon. The transformation was brought to life with the help of Exmouth Rugby Football Club’s Under-14 and Under-15 teams.

We’re also proud to have had support from fantastic sponsors, including Wooden Spoon Charity and the Norman Family Charitable Trust.

Get HandsOn design and construct a vast range of exciting projects all across the UK, from outdoor classrooms, playgrounds and sensory gardens.

‘Work carried out was exceptional... The team from HandsOn built an outdoor classroom and stage for us. We were kept involved throughout the whole process, from planning all through the build until completion. The site was kept safe and tidy at all times, all work was carried out as per the schedule and the quality of materials and work carried out was exceptional and to the highest of standards. The finished build is truly extraordinary and is going to change our outdoor learning area beyond all recognition.' Kevin Orchard, Kates Hill Primary School, Dudley, West Midlands

As we prepare for this weeks project, we wanted to take the opportunity to go through some of the benefits of these Get HandsOn Days. Team building isn’t just a break from work, it’s the foundation of a strong team. Here’s why Get HandsOn days matter more than you think:

💬 Better Communication
Interactive challenges help teams talk more openly, share ideas freely, and understand each other better.

🤝 Stronger Collaboration
Working together outside the usual tasks builds trust, deepens connections, and improves how we solve problems together.

💥 Boosted Morale
A little fun goes a long way, stepping away from the desk recharges motivation and brings fresh energy to the team.

🌟 Leadership Growth
These activities give people a chance to step up, lead, and build confidence in a supportive setting.

🧠 Strengths Unlocked
You’ll see hidden talents come to life and teams learn how to lean into each other’s unique strengths.

Stronger teams build better companies. So the real question is… when are you going to Get HandsOn this year?

We’re incredibly proud to have joined forces with the Bassey Collective and Unique Sports Group to give back to a community that holds a special place in Calvin Bassey heart. It’s been amazing to breathe new life into this space and bring fresh, exciting energy to the community. This is what true community impact looks like, built on collaboration and purpose. We can’t wait to see the kids make it their own!
