12 Hours. 48 Teams. One Global Impact.
Join Goods For Good and Oaklands College on Thursday 11 June 2026 for a unique corporate challenge to mark the opening of the World Cup.
This event is part of our growing Sport For Good partnership with Oaklands College, using sport and community events to support families facing hardship.
Wold Cup Packathon
For one day only, the Oaklands Wolves Sports Hall will be transformed into a global stage where businesses come together to pack essential goods for people in crisis — in the UK and around the world.
DATE: Thursday 11 June 2026
TIME: 12:00PM to 12:00AM
VENUE: Oaklands Wolves Sports Hall, Oaklands College, Hatfield Road, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL4 0JA
FUNDRAISING COMMITMENT: We ask that each team commits to raising a minimum of £1,000. A £500 deposit is required to secure your table (maximum 5 people per team).
Whether you stay for the full 12 hours or take part in shifts, every contribution will make a real difference.
What to Expect
On the day, you’ll be part of a collective effort to support families and communities facing poverty, displacement and crisis — both in the UK and around the world. Every box packed will contain essential items that provide practical support, as well as a sense of dignity and care to those receiving them.
- A 12-hour team challenge in the Oaklands Wolves Sports Hall
- A World Cup-themed experience, with each team representing a nation
- World Cup opening ceremony and Mexico Vs South Africa playing on the big screen
- Hands-on volunteering, packing essential goods for people in crisis
- A shared atmosphere, working alongside other businesses towards a common goal
- A tangible outcome, with every box packed going directly to communities in need
Why Take Part?
The World Cup is a global moment, connecting millions of people through a shared experience.
Our World Cup Packathon takes that same idea and turns it into something tangible.
For one day, you can take part in something with real-world impact. As teams represent nations on the pitch, here you’ll be working together to support communities across the world — packing essential goods that will reach people facing poverty, displacement and crisis in over 32 countries.
It’s the same spirit of collective effort, just applied differently. Instead of goals, it’s boxes packed. Instead of points on a table, it’s people reached.
And at the end of the day, you can see exactly what you’ve helped make happen.
