Our Latest Mobile Outreach Centre Charity Project for Yellow Door
A few months ago, we were approached by a local charity, based in Canvey Island, whose minibus was in need of a Stanford’s makeover. One of the charity’s volunteers had previously worked for a medical company who we supplied ambulances to, and was quick to recommend our work when he discovered that their current minibus required some TLC.
The charity supplied their own Renault Master minibus which we converted and applied their personal decals to.
The Charity: Yellow Door
Yellow Door are an independant charity who offer a wide variety of support services, advice and activities to young people aged between 11-25. The wonderful charity also operates a food bank service which provides young people who are financially struggling with food parcels.
After hiring Essex County Council’s vehicles, Yellow Door decided that it would be incredibly beneficial for them to utilise their existing minibus and have it converted into their very own mobile outreach centre. This way, Yellow Door can transport their services to a range of highly populated youth areas within the local community. Their upgraded minibus also provides a safe and fun space for young people to socialise or ask for advice and support from the team at Yellow Door.
The interior features a full length workspace with a fold-away sink and lockable storage compartments.
The Stanfords Conversion
The Renault Master minibus, supplied to us by Yellow Door, features an upcycled memory foam sofa which comes directly from a premiership footballers Monaco Sprinter! The inside of the vehicle, has been fully lined with a soft feel carpet material and we installed a large workspace which includes a fold-away sink and multiple lockable storage compartments.

We are incredibly proud of our SCW team and would like to say thank you to those who volunteered their time to provide free conversion labour in order to help reduce costs for the charity’s fantastic project. We look forward to spotting Yellow Door’s new mobile outreach centre in action throughout our local area and we wish them all the best for the future.
