DOING MORE.

DOING
MORE.

At Dainton, we believe our role goes beyond storage. From supporting local charities and community groups to investing in sustainability and green spaces, we’re proud to give back where we can. Our Doing More projects highlight the small but meaningful ways we’ve helped people, places, and the environment.

Supporting DIY SOS In Swansea

 

We were proud to provide temporary storage for DIY SOS during their transformation of a Swansea family home.

The project gave Dan, who had suffered life-changing injuries, access to his home in a new way.

We played a small part in an extraordinary effort led by an inspiring team.

Backing The Bridgwater Carnival

Bridgwater Carnival is one of world’s biggest illuminated parades and a proud tradition for the town.

In 2024 our team joined the squibbing display and sponsored the School Outreach Programme, helping local children take part in this much-loved event that means so much to the community.

Space For Local Teams

 

Grassroots sport is at the heart of many communities, and we’re proud to help clubs and teams with the facilities they need.

Our containers and cabins have been used for everything from secure kit storage to toilets, showers, and changing rooms — giving players and volunteers the practical space to focus on the game.

Combined with our local sponsorships, it’s one of the ways we’re helping sport at every level bring people together and strengthen community spirit.

Helping Schools In Ghana

 

We supported Educational Development Projects by donating a 40ft container to transport solar panels to Awutu Winton High School in Ghana.

The panels helped the school move towards energy independence, while the container was repurposed for storage.

A small contribution that made a lasting difference to education.

 

 

Christow Community Shop

 

A customised cabin from Dainton became the foundation for Christow Community Shop in Devon’s Teign Valley.

More than a place to buy essentials, it grew into a thriving hub run by volunteers.

It stands as a brilliant example of how adaptable space helped strengthen community spirit.

Cleaning The Ogmore River

 

We joined over 90 partners in a major community effort to restore the Ogmore River, South Wales.

Together, thousands of tyres and tonnes of rubbish were cleared, transforming the landscape.

It was inspiring to see so many people unite to give something back to nature and protect the local environment.

Supporting Local Wildlife In Bristol

At our Bristol site, we support local biodiversity by creating a habitat for newts, birds, and foxes.

Bird boxes, a wildlife corner with pond and hibernaculum, plus water butts helped them thrive.

By enhancing green spaces, we played our part in protecting wildlife and ecological balance.

 

Solar Power Across Our Sites

We invested in sustainability by installing photovoltaic solar panels at eight of our 14 locations, including Redruth, St Austell, Lee Mill, Heathfield, Paignton, Torquay, Swansea and Barnstaple.

By generating clean electricity onsite and reducing fossil fuel use, we took another important step towards a greener, more sustainable future.

Children’s Wishes

 

Dainton has supported Children’s Wishes Plymouth, a charity helping families across Devon and Cornwall. The charity was set up to give children affected by poverty, illness, or addiction a little extra help with their wishes and everyday needs.

They approached us in 2024 needing space to store donations of Christmas presents and supplies in readiness for their Christmas push to help local children at what can be a difficult time of year, we happily supported this by offering free storage at our Lee Mill site for this period and continue to have an ongoing relationship with them.

Supporting Men’s Wellbeing In Bridgend

 

Lads & Dads, founded by Rob Lester in 2019, is a Bridgend organisation dedicated to men’s mental health. From small beginnings, it has grown into a 2,000-strong community where men connect, share experiences, and take part in activities like sea dips and wellbeing events.

We’re proud to support Rob and his team as customers at our Bridgend depot, providing storage space that helps them focus on their mission of supporting local men’s wellbeing.
