A community centre in Devon has been awarded with Burg-Wächter’s ‘Secure Communities Scheme,’ allowing the community to receive a Home-Safe security product.
The Strand Community Trust, which runs The Strand Centre in Dawlish, applied for Burg-Wächter’s ‘Secure Communities Scheme’ when they were in need of a safe.
The centre reportedly sees over 1,200 people a year using its facilities which includes a café, food bank, drop-in and support services as well as community events.
These services are said to particularly support families, older adults and individuals facing isolation, hardship or homelessness by providing affordable hot meals, emergency food support, a warm space and vital connection for people in challenging circumstances.
The community centre in Devon reportedly had no place for on-site income, donations and sensitive documents to be stored safely when the centre was closed.
Burg-Wächter awarded them with its Home-Safe H 210 S, a compact 20.6 litre safe with mechanical lock and key entry.
The Home-Safe has a double-walled design for attack resistance, which includes fire resistant insulating material.
The Home-Safe is said to have sufficient space for commonly sized files with an adjustable shelf.
The safe reportedly can be easily integrated into cabinets, as it is equipped with two diagonally arranges drill holes in the back wall and in the bottom of the safe to ensure an optimal and immovable fixing.
Barrie Cooper, Chair of Trustees, Strand Community Trust said: “We’re a small but active charity with limited resources and we rely heavily on volunteer time and local donations.
“Before our gifted safe from Burg-Wächter we didn’t have a secure location for various types of on-site income and donations when the centre was closed.
“The addition of this safe now allows us to securely store these items and has given our staff and volunteers peace of mind and helps us safeguard our busy community hub.
“We’d like to thank Burg-Wächter for supporting community organisations like ours.”
Burg-Wächter‘s Secure Communities Scheme gives regional charities and community groups the chance to win a security kit worth up to £200 for their organisation.
Any regional initiative that is run by or supports the local community can reportedly apply.
The company’s Secure Communities Scheme is said to be its way of saying thank you to community leaders for supporting people in their area.
