Social Engagement & Impact
At Dapa Atelier, one of our core values is commitment to giving back. We partner with communities, charities, and industry leaders to create lasting impact, champion sustainability, and support local causes.
Our chosen charity of the year
Sheltersuit
At Sheltersuit UK we believe everyone deserves warmth, protection, and dignity. With the continuing increasing number of people living unsheltered in the UK, Sheltersuit Foundation is an organisation that was incorporated in 2021 to help.
We provide multifunctional products that provide immediate shelter to people who need it most. These products are not meant to be a replacement for finding a home, but a supplement to when there is no other choice.
Keeping People Warm And Comfortable
The Shelterbag is a portable sleeping shelter that is light, warm, weatherproof, with built-in mattress and large tented hood to protect the head. With a Shelterbag, a person can sleep comfortably almost anywhere.
The Shelterbag of course is only a short-term solution. The task of solving homelessness and keeping people off the streets, is one for central and local Government. But until that happens we must keep people alive and protect them.
Our chosen charity of the year
Mind
Mental Health affects us all, yet starting the conversation can sometimes feel like the hardest step. That’s why we at Dapa Atelier got involved with #timetotalk Day, a brilliant annual initiative run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness that encourages open and honest chats about mental well-being. We transformed our breakout room into a welcoming space for our team to drop in and out throughout the day.
We filled it with information about the initiative, conversation starter cards, affirmations and mindfulness activities. Each member of the team also received a small treat, a game and a crystal to help them connect with themselves and each other and to spark meaningful conversations about mental health.
We Also Proudly Support The Following Charities
Rob’s Skydive for Sheltersuit – A Leap for Change
At Dapa Atelier, we believe in making a real impact, and no one embodied that more recently than our co-founder Rob, who took bravery to new heights – quite literally! Jumping from 12,500ft on his first-ever skydive, Rob took on this incredible challenge to raise funds for Sheltersuit.
Thanks to his efforts and the generosity of supporters, he raised enough to purchase 10 shelter bags, offering warmth and protection to those in need. Alongside the fantastic team at Helping Hands, Rob personally helped distribute these life-changing bags to the homeless community in Birmingham, ensuring they reached those who needed them most.
We’re beyond proud of Rob for his courage and dedication-both in the sky and on the ground. His jump wasn’t just about the adrenaline; it was about making a tangible difference, one shelter bag at a time.
Sponsored pet day for Macmillan
We hosted a fun-filled Sponsored Pet Day in support of Macmillan Cancer Support. Pets of all shapes and sizes joined in the festivities, helping to raise vital funds for this incredible charity. From playful pups to curious cats, the event was a heartwarming celebration of our furry friends coming together for a great cause.
Thanks to everyone who participated and donated, the funds raised will help Macmillan provide essential care and support to those affected by cancer. It was a day filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and generous hearts—all making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
