Hide AdSite manager Janine Watson said the response so far has been amazing. She said: “It has been overwhelming, but in a good way, it has far exceeded anything we expected.
“We have stopped accepting donations of clothing and bedding, but are instead collecting longlife food, first aid, baby products, toiletries and medical supplies.”
“We’ve already filled a large van to the rafters and a 13ft trailer and we still have more coming in.
“It’s been amazing, people have been so kind.
Ms Watson said the storage giant, which has another 11 branches across the North of England, has been overwhelmed by the number of donations
