Local self storage company offer ELF storage to support children's charity at Christmas

Dainton Self Storage are offering free “Elf Storage” in the lead up to Christmas to raise funds for the care of life-limited children in the south west.

In return for free storage of Christmas presents, Dainton Self Storage are asking for a small donation to support its chosen charity, Children's Hospice South West.

The secure storage units make better hiding places for presents than the traditional cupboard, garage or attic. Members of the public can be confident that their festive gifts are safe from the prying eyes of their children or curious partners, while also doing their bit to help Children's Hospice South West make the most of short and precious lives.

Dainton's Operations Director, Shaun Duncan, says “The company has been raising funds for Children's Hospice South West throughout the year and we wanted to champion this fantastic cause at a time when many people's thoughts naturally turn to their families and children.

“We are also selling cardboard boxes for just £1 from our self storage branches with all the proceeds going to Children's Hospice South West . The boxes are great for storing presents in and we aim to raise £5,000 by the end of the year. All our self storage branches in Devon and Cornwall are accepting donations so I'd encourage everyone to get involved if they can and help us meet our target.”

Naomi Dymond, Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser at CHSW, says: “At times during the year, some of our children and families need very special care and Christmas is one such occasion. Many parents feel overwhelmed by the competing demands they are juggling at this time – the round the clock needs of their child, the anticipation of brothers and sisters and the challenge of preparing all the festive fare. This is why our hospices remain open throughout the year – so we can be there for families, whenever they need us, to provide much needed support.”
