Partners in business

We are delighted to have been gifted off-site storage offering us 24/7 access by Safestore Self Storage in Leith just 5 minutes from the VOCAL Carer Hub on Leith Walk. It was a really easy set-up to get the room and we were given a very warm welcome by the team there. Best thing is the kettle is always on when you visit.
