Dana Petroleum Supports Local Charities Through Office Furniture Donation
"We’re incredibly grateful to Dana Petroleum for its generous donation of office chairs to the Great Western Community Centre. Every penny counts when you're running a charitable organisation, and this kind of practical help makes a real difference."
Andrew Murray, Great Western Community Centre
“I was absolutely delighted that Dana could support so many incredible charities by providing them with much-needed office furniture and equipment. It’s wonderful to know that this has helped them focus on what truly matters, delivering their vital services and continuing the amazing work they carry out in our communities."
Rebecca Thomson-McDermid, Facilities & Workplace Manager, Dana Petroleum
The opportunity
When Dana Petroleum embarked on a major refurbishment of its city centre office, the company made the incredibly generous decision to donate its surplus office furniture to local charities. Keen to support this initiative, All Life Chances partnered with Dana, working together with the facilities team to make sure these resources reached the groups that needed them most.
Reaching the right people
We shared the offer through our social media channels, while also speaking directly to our contacts across the city’s third sector. The response we got was absolutely brilliant, with enquiries coming in from a wide range of charities, voluntary groups and community centres.
Making it happen
We were able to support Dana by identifying beneficiaries, handling specific requests and scheduling collection times.
We liaised directly with each third sector organisation, ensuring a smooth, efficient process for everyone involved.
The impact
Some 14 local charitable organisations received high-quality office furniture, including desks, chairs, and storage pedestals. These donations provided real, practical value, helping each group to use their limited funds for frontline services.
A powerful partnership
This initiative is a brilliant example of how the private sector can work hand-in-hand with the third sector to make a meaningful difference. By simply donating what would have otherwise gone unused, Dana helped equip community spaces, support local causes, and promote sustainability through reuse.
