Santa's Scottish Helpers

Over the Christmas period, our amazing easyStorage team in Scotland played 'Santa’s Little Helper' with the help of their big  easy orange van.

They’ve been supporting a huge hamper handout to HomeInstead care workers in the Glasgow area and beyond as a thank you for all their support in helping the vulnerable, elderly and those in ill health and their families – extra important this year given the constant COVID threat constantly lurking in the background.

Tariq Din and team team up to deliver

Many elderly people were spending Christmas alone this year, some shielding, some unable to travel to their families, some managing with very little family for support or help. The gifts for the HomeInstead carers were a small gesture, but a fabulous one.

The team then combined their easyStorage resources and HomeInstead resources in Glasgow to hand out chocolates, shortbread and other gifts – hundreds of them - to the elderly in the local community, personally going around to drop these at their doors.

Our easyStorage franchisees make ours a caring business - when people put things into storage it’s usually because those things matter to them professionally or personally. Along with happier reasons like moving in together, new homes, new jobs, trips around the World, there can often be a sad story behind those belongings: deaths; moving people into hospitals homes or hospices; divorces; company closures; downsizing…. The list is endless.

In addition to their abilities to run a business, our easyStorage franchisees and their teams are chosen, in part, for their ability to empathise, to care about what happens to the belongings we take for safekeeping and about how they’re handled.

We’re therefore really proud of Tariq and his team at easyStorage Scotland for the community feel they’re creating, and look forward to bringing you more of their exploits shortly.

Home Decluttering Ideas

“Whatever the problem, be part of the solution.” Just like the saying, whenever there are challenges, always have the mindset of creating a solution. Home decluttering is one of the challenges every household is facing. Probably because it's very tedious and some do not have time to do so. Others also find it hard to let go of their possessions like old clothes, books, bags, etc. and these things keep on piling up, taking up too much space.

Four Box Method and Self-Storage: Making Decluttering Easy

But isn’t it refreshing to go home after work and see everything all tidied up? There are lots of ways to declutter your home and one of the easiest is the Four Box Method.

You can also think of a more creative way to label each box just to differentiate them from each other.
