Voluntary group - storage in council owned buildings

Voluntary group - storage in council owned buildings | South Lanarkshire Council

Idea	We are a voluntary group in Lesmahagow which deliver packages at Christmas and Easter to the elderly. We also give them a birthday gift. The problem we have is finding a space locally to store items. As a volunteer group we do not have the money to rent space. All our money is made by fundraising and we rely on local businesses for donations. So I was wondering if this could be an idea for groups, who don't have excess money to share a storage place, given by the council.
Response	Unfortunately, the council does not have accommodation available that it could offer for this purpose at no charge. However, your suggestion that groups work together to share the costs of accommodation seems like a way forward and our community participation team will let the local community council and other community organisations know of the suggestion.
