Case Studies

Thames Valley Partnership: Protecting Victims and Supporting Offenders

Thames Valley Partnership is an established charity who work to ensure victims of crime, those involved in criminal activity and families impacted by crime have the support they need to take control of their lives and make positive changes. 

The challenge

For Thames Valley Partnership, the services and support they offer to their clients and users is crucial in helping them to be heard and offering victims, offenders and their families in crisis more sustainable, long term solutions. For the charity, their main challenge lies in the huge amount of donated items they receive from the community and being able to safely – and securely – store items before they can be shared with their service users. 

The solution

Since December 2015, the charity has occupied a 60sq ft unit in our Tring Road store, which allows them to store items for easy access at all times by their team.  Our self storage units provide volunteers with the perfect place to not only store the donations of clothing, toiletries and goods they regularly receive, but also to sort through items and bag them up into parcels to send to individual clients.

For Thames Valley Partnership, having a safe and close-by location for storage has made a huge difference to how they operate while our high standard of security on-site along with our friendly staff offers added extra peace of mind:

“For us, the handy location of the store means it’s simple for us to drop off and pick up items at a time that suits us, and we’re not wasting time travelling miles away when we need supplies. Also, the competitive pricing means we don’t have to worry too much about costs or to pay any expensive business fees, either.”

Find out more about how you can support the charity by visiting their website or following Thames Valley Partnership on Twitter or LinkedIn.

Our sustainability commitment

With climate change now at the forefront of most people’s minds, action needs to be taken. At Ready Steady Store we’re already taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint, a major factor in combating climate change.

Our latest tree planting initiative will see us reduce our footprint even further. That’s because trees absorb CO2, so they’re a great way to minimise the harmful effect of CO2 emissions on the environment. And with more trees planted, the closer we’ll be to achieving a carbon-neutral Britain, along with our goal to become a carbon-neutral business.

We’re doing everything we can to help create a sustainable future for the planet, and now you can help too. All you have to do is leave us a Google Review, and for every one posted we’ll plant a tree with our partner more:trees.
