Every year the friendly staff at Access Self Storage collect baskets and baskets of chocolate eggs for a number of wonderful local charities to help their beneficiaries enjoy the Easter break.

With nine Access stores participating in our 2015 Easter campaign, we decided to set the target high at 1000 eggs, in hope of beating last year’s record of 800.

We also had the creative help of kind local florists to create beautiful, colourful Easter bonnets to donate to the charities along with the chocolate eggs.

Participating stores and florists included;

Kingston collecting for Kingston NHS Hospital along with a decorative bonnet donated by Kingston Wild Flowers
Coventry collecting for Tiny Tim’s Children’s Centre along with a decorative bonnet donated by The Hubbard’s Florist
Mitcham collecting for The Salvation Army along with a decorative bonnet donated by Flowers By Caroline
Guildford collecting for The Royal Surrey County Hospital along with a decorative bonnet donated by Jean’s Florist
Manchester collecting for The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust along with a decorative bonnet donated by Access staff
Northampton collecting for the Northamptonshire County Council along with a decorative bonnet donated by Stables The Florist
Nottingham collecting for Rainbows Hospice along with a decorative bonnet donated by Welch The Florist
Portsmouth and Southampton collecting for The Rowans Hospice along with decorative bonnets donated by Pam’s Artistic Florist and The Flower Shop

Here are some choc-filled photos of staff at Access:

The Coventry store collecting for Tiny Tim’s Children’s Centre

The Manchester store collecting for the Children’s Adventure Farm Trust

A special mention must go to the staff at the Coventry store for collecting the most chocolate eggs nationwide with a massive total of 141 eggs for the children visiting Tiny Tim’s Children’s Centre.

Also, a big thank you to the generous florists who donated Easter bonnets- we are very grateful for the time and effort you spent making these wonderful gifts!

Finally, we want to say a huge thank you to Access customers and the local communities that donated to the Access Self Storage Easter Appeal. With your help we were able to collect an astonishing amount of eggs for the very deserving beneficiaries at each charity.

The Sun features Vice Cream

Golden Goose PR were delighted to spot Vice Cream on the front page of The Sun today. Helen Gilbert tested out Vice Cream on three couples to see if the ‘female viagra’ ice cream from The Licktators works for their readers. We were delighted with the results and love that one of the candidates, Mandy, requested seconds! A great piece of coverage to come back to after the Easter break

April Fools

Golden Goose PR decided to fool the nation on April Fools Day with not just one but two pranks.

We dreamed up The Kimsicle, a new marshmallow ice cream made in the shape of Kim Kardashian’s infamous PAPER Magazine shoot for our ice cream client, The Licktators. The made-up product, which we said could boost women’s bottoms, quickly went viral. We watched in amazement as people around the world started sharing the Kimsicle on various social media platforms – and it made our day when it appeared on Kim Kardashian’s own website. The story was also picked up by Metro, DailyStar.co.uk, OK!, Mirror.co.uk, Express.co.uk, ELLE, Best, So Feminine, Telegraph.co.uk, Cosmopolitan amongst other intentional outlets. We were also named one of the best pranks on the web by The Huffington Post, Heart FM and MailOnline.

In keeping (up with) the Kardashian theme we also launched the World’s first BootyBra on behalf of lingerie label Curvy Kate. The Booty Bra is shapewear that can give your behind that little (p)added oomph! Booty Bra definitely inspired the nation to pump up their derrières as we saw coverage appear on Sugarscape, Live Like a VIP, Telegraph.co.uk, Express.co.uk, Heart FM, DailyStar.co.uk and Cosmopolitan.

We also have to say well done to Pizza Hut, Dominos, Sunlife, Daily Mirror and Costa on their brilliant April Fools stories.

Have an EGG-celent Easter weekend!

Love,

Golden Goose PR
