Community Engagement
We want to engage with the communities in which we operate and provide a meaningful contribution to society.
With hire centres, offices and and operational sites in over 70 locations, we have a great opportunity to create a positive impact on multiple communities through our charitable donations, employee activity and customer projects.
Donations are made through the Portakabin Community Support Fund for charities and organisations working in the following areas:
- Poverty, homelessness and hunger
- Mental health and addiction
- Grassroots sport
- Hospices and hospitals
- York and North Yorkshire-based organisations
As part of our ongoing commitment to support local communities, we provide annual sponsorship for three brilliant charities in York:
- York Cares, an independent employee-volunteering charity which brings businesses, employees and communities together to make York a better place. Portakabin has been a member of York Cares since 2014.
- The York City Football Club Foundation, which supports the community in York using the power of sport as a vehicle for making a positive difference to people aged 4-90, delivering physical activity or using sport for spectating/discussion to draw people together to tackle key issues of health, mental wellbeing, isolation, loneliness, community cohesion and anti-social behaviour.
- The Place, a charity based in the Westfield area of York which provides a safe space for local families to grow ambition and supports young people to meet their full potential.
