Making a difference

Rent a Space takes our corporate social responsibility seriously. We're committed to making a difference and we are expanding our efforts in a number of ways.

We've been proudly serving thousands of Sydney customers since 1979 and are a family owned and operated Australian company.

As a way of saying thank you to our customers, past, present and future, our social goodness mission is to create a better community. Giving back is our focus and we're committed to making a positive impact and developing healthy communities in the locations that our storage facilities operate.

Our Social Goodness Initiatives

We focus on four complementary areas: community support, junior sport, corporate giving and sustainability .

Rent a Space CEO, Thomas Whalan, is passionate about creating a positive legacy and better health for children through sport.

An Australian water polo champion and four-time Olympian, Thomas understands the power of sport to teach children important life skills like leadership, decision making, resilience and confidence, and to set them up for a successful adulthood.

Through our corporate giving program, we donate to charities that we feel a connection with, as a way of spreading kindness, goodwill and showing our support to the community that supports us.
