Our Community

We’re committed to supporting the communities around our stores and responding to local needs in practical and meaningful ways. Every year, we see first-hand how charities and community organisations are working to tackle urgent challenges such as homelessness, domestic abuse and mental health. By offering subsidised storage space, we help them manage their resources more efficiently so they can focus on providing vital support to the people who rely on them.

In July 2025, the Safestore Charitable Fund made a £2,500 grant to Smart Works Bristol, an organisation that helps women move into employment by providing high quality interview clothes and interview coaching to boost confidence and self-belief. The grant is helping to fund its new centre in Bristol and to cover core costs so it can continue delivering employment support services to unemployed women most in need across the city.

For the 13th consecutive year, Safestore proudly partnered with HandsOn London to support the WrapUp London campaign – an initiative that collects and distributes winter coats to vulnerable people across the UK. This year, just under 22,700 coats were collected and distributed through a network of over 112 charities, reaching the homeless, refugees, families in crisis, and the elderly.

“Safestore’s long-standing support has once again been instrumental to the success of our WrapUp campaign. Their generous donation of storage space and provision of drop-off points across the UK make it possible for us to collect, sort and distribute thousands of winter coats to those most in need.

“Beyond the practical help, their ongoing partnership reflects a genuine commitment to community impact. We deeply value their continued collaboration and look forward to building on this success together.”
