Giving back to our community
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.
Corporate Giving
Rent a Space has supported the Nelune Foundation since 2019 with complimentary storage. We also donate $5 for every Google customer review that each of our seventeen stores receive.
For over two decades, the NELUNE Foundation has raised funds to establish essential infrastructure, centres of cancer care excellence, specialist cancer nurses and clinical psychologists, in addition to patient transport services, with the purpose of helping patients fight cancer with dignity.
Rent a Space provides support to Neuroblastoma Australia, through much needed complimentary storage and is a Gold Sponsor of their annual Run2Cure Sydney fundraising event. Neuroblastoma Australia funds research projects into the cause of and treatments for this aggressive, complex childhood cancer.
Community Support
We also support our community for floods, fires and natural disaster appeals by providing donations, storage, boxes and other practical measures to our preferred charity partners.
Sustainability
Our new state-of-the-art storage centres are designed to reduce our carbon footprint by using energy-efficient materials, water capture and recycling, solar panels, passive daylighting and eco-landscaping. Our sustainability focus has so far produced 150MWh of solar power, saving 350t of CO2 emissions.
