Easter Bunny visits Stevenage

Another fantastic day on the Easter tour! Today we visited the Lister Hospital in Stevenage where we met with the head matron and had a lovely tour of the children’s ward.  We met some real characters and had great fun helping the Easter bunny give out his Easter treats.
  
A lot of the teenagers on the ward wanted chocolate so we managed to give out a large number of choccie eggs!

 





We were also joined by the lovely Louise Yexley from The Best Of Hitchin, Kerry Ahmani-Ferdi, Access Regional Manager and Lisa-Marie Penrose, Access CSA and the hero team all made the front news of the Stevenage Advertiser as well as The Comet Series out next week! Who said the Easter Bunny wasn’t headline news?!”

Easter Bunny visits Portsmouth and Southampton

What a fantastic day we had on Friday! The sun was shining and after zooming down the motorway to Access Self Storage in Portsmouth, we arrived at the store to stock up on donated gifts before visiting the Willows Nursery where the children flocked around the Easter Bunny asking him questions and playing with his shades. Even the Easter bunny needs to chill out in the sun!



From Willows Nursery to Portsmouth Hospital where Portsmouth Live TV and The Portsmouth Journal were waiting for the hero team to turn up.


Armed with cuddly bunnies and a giant bear, the Easter Bunny took to the ward spreading his Easter sprit to all the poorly children. Even our very own Access Marketing Manager, Kevin Pratt was interviewed for TV!!

On to Southampton where we visited the Community Toy Library before we went to see the children on the ward at Southampton Hospital!


The smiles on all the children’s faces said it all....


Watch this space for our journey to Stevenage!

Access Self Storage Easter Charity Activity update


“After a few members of the “hero team” went undercover yesterday at the King’s Cross store, we are delighted to announce that the PR machine is churning away nicely and after a pre-appeal piece in the Islington and Camden Gazette last week, hundreds and hundreds of toys have been donated! So much so that the store have had to move the drop off point to a large unit!

Larissa Clark from Islington (featured above) says “What a fantastic charity appeal. The Royal Free Hospital is close to my heart and I am so happy to be able to donate these toys to the children on the ward”

After a successful PR week with pre-appeal features in the Reading Chronicle, Southern Daily Echo, Hammersmith and Fulham Chronicle, Islington and Camden Gazette, The Best Of Richmond and The Portsmouth News, let’s hope that the Easter Bunny will be collecting hundreds of toys from each of the ten locations!”
