Rebuild CIC is a unique social enterprise helping communities in Cumbria to access tools, equipment and DIY items at little or no cost. It takes surplus construction materials to the Rebuild facility in Carlisle where local residents can visit to purchase items, or apply for free materials to help community projects or charities.

As proud partners of Rebuild, Sunbelt Rentals helped the team move to larger premises in early 2023 and are thrilled to partner with them once more, adding a Community Tool Library to their offer.

In 2022, Sunbelt Rentals launched its first, national Big Winter Donation Drive. Led by its network of internal Regional Social Impact Committees (RSICs), who deliver social impact locally to depots, the Big Winter Donation Drive supported different charitable causes each month from October to December.

Carntyne Riddrie is a not-for-profit food bank serving people in one of the most deprived areas of Glasgow. Bolted on to the Carntyne and Riddrie Credit Union it helps the local community by giving food to those who need it. It is non-referral based so anyone can just turn up and it supports thousands of people each year. The food bank is run by a team of volunteers and relies solely on donations to operate.

A crucial part of Our Planet sustainability plans is to create skills, education and employment opportunities that help shape a better future for those involved and builds upon creating a more responsible future for our planet, our people and our communities.

We have joined the global effort to improve literacy for all by partnering with the charity Innovations for Learning through their Chapter One programme. A significant focus of Our Planet sustainability plans is to help give young people the best start to life and a fair chance to build a great future.

From all our nationwide depots we actively reach out within local communities to find ways we can generate social impact, providing support where it is most needed. One of our focus areas is social equality and improving opportunity and equality for those who are reforming themselves and trying to transform their lives.

Sunbelt Rentals is proud to support young people across the UK. Whether it be getting an education, building a career or helping their mental and physical wellbeing, we are passionate about changing young lives for the better. It is also important that we make a difference where we operate and regularly work with our clients or industry partners to provide much needed support to smaller charities or causes near to our hundreds of depots nationwide.
