Smile Vaults are libraries of free to hire equipment for charities and community groups in the Humber Region for events and fundraisers.
Smile Community Vaults are libraries of community assets that Charites and voluntary groups from across the region can use to run fantastic events, fundraise, deliver activities and make a real difference in their communities.
You'll find Smile Vaults in Hull, Bridlington, Driffield and Goole.
The equipment includes giant games, sound systems, laptops, cameras, gazebos, tables chairs and lots of other items that are stored. At Smile Hull Vault equipment is maintained and managed by our caretaker Keith.
Now in its tenth year, the Smile Vault service has supported local charities and groups with over 2,500 orders—saving them money, time, and storage space, while giving them the chance to try something new from our library of over 100 different items.
Last year was our busiest yet! With 558 orders, we saved charities over £100,000 in hire charge savings alone. We even lent out so many extension leads that, put end to end, they’d stretch five times higher than the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world)! And with our catering urns, enough tea was brewed to pour more than 3,000 cups of community kindness.
Together, we can make an even bigger difference.
At Smile Hull Vault, we proudly support over 250 charities and community groups – all working tirelessly to bring hope, help, and happiness to our community.
Your kindness can help us continue this important work:
Every donation, big or small, brings smiles, hope, and real impact to people in need.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.
