Spring clean with Safestore and dash to donate for Scope!

People across England, Wales and Scotland are being asked to drop off quality clothes, books, toys and household goods at their local Safestore for a week-long 'Dash to Donate' challenge which aims to collect as much stock as possible for Scope and Capability Scotland.

It is the third year that Safestore, the UK's largest self-storage company, has teamed up with Scope and donations are being accepted at all 96 Safestore branches from Monday 27 May to Sunday 2 June 2013.

Members of the public can pick up donation bags and drop off any items at their local Safestore or Scope branch. Safestore branches will also be competing with each other to see which of its 96 stores can fill the largest amount of storage space with donated stock.

The items will then be sold by Scope and Capability Scotland across a network of almost 270 charity shops, raising vital funds to support their work with disabled people.

Sasha Phillips, Donated Stock Manager at Scope, said: "Everyone at Scope is extremely grateful to the staff and customers of Safestore for their support.

"Spring is the perfect time to de-clutter your home, and as our shops rely on the public for donations 'Dash to Donate' gives people another easy way of dropping off their unwanted goods, as well as visiting our high street shops."

Donated items can be taken to any Safestore branch during the appeal week and are always welcome at Scope and Capability Scotland shops.
