A nationwide charity that provides support for homeless and vulnerable young people is offering moving companies the opportunity to buy competitively priced corrugated boxes and at the same time help people sleeping rough find a bed for the night.

Depaul UK provides over 125,000 ‘bednights’ a year and has helped more than 80,000 people since it was founded in 1989.

A new fund raising enterprise, The Depaul Box Company, began trading in April 2013 and supplies a range of boxes to people moving house as well as made-to-measure cases to commercial customers. All profits are used to help young people find a bed for the night and a place to call home.

Joseph Howes, Executive Director of Fundraising & Development for Depaul UK said, “Instead of just relying on donations, we wanted to broaden our horizons and act like a business to raise money, rather than a charity. So we thought out of the box. Everyone associates the homeless with sleeping on boxes, so why not sell boxes to help the homeless?”

Depaul boxes carry the charity’s branding and can also be printed with your company logo, etc.  Typical lead times are around four days with delivery available throughout the UK.
