We’ve moved!
By January of this year, we were certain the time had come to find a new base location for our offices and main storage unit. With 474 requests to store received throughout 2023, we knew we simply no longer had capacity to sustain the service at our Hackney location.
After an extensive search, we finally found the perfect fit for us in King's Cross. In just two short days in April, we successfully moved over 900 items belonging to around 175 people, as well as our office furniture. Fortunately, we didn't undertake this endeavour alone; we had the amazing help of the Aspen volunteer team, including Zivanayi, Natasha, Paul, Elsie, Debra, Frank, Ellie, Helen, and George, along with other other volunteers who generously gave their time: Geordie, Gary, Seth, and Ric.
Street Storage is immensely grateful for the time and effort everyone has put in to make this transition as smooth (and enjoyable!) as possible.
Some key features of our new unit include:
a larger storage space, supporting up to 400 people
a private room for one-on-one sessions
a relaxation area equipped for charging phones and sorting through belongings.
a better office space for our growing staff team
better facilities all round!
Thanks to the support of our brilliant funders and people who have encouraged us along the way, we are excited to now offer all the above and settle down into our new home.
