Two hundred senior leaders from Allstate Northern Ireland recently took part in the Give a Hand workshop, led by the mentalist and motivational speaker David Meade.
Participants built prosthetic hands for disabled individuals struggling with poverty in some of the most remote parts of the world.
The event, held in the ICC Conference Centre in Belfast, produced 50 prosthetic hands and was the final in a series of leadership and team building workshops organised by Allstate Northern Ireland throughout 2019.
The prosthetic hands are transforming the lives of recipients in Uganda, Cambodia, Vietnam and India, according to David Meade, who provided Allstate Northern Ireland with an insight into life without functioning hands.
