CHARITY

ONE VOICE CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE Established in 2012, One Voice had a vision to restore dignity and hope, one life at a time...

“The service was fantastic, I’m sorry that I’ve forgotten the lady’s name, but she took the time to show me through a few unit sizes and I never felt rushed while trying to figure out my needs, in fact she contributed greatly to my decision, I’m sorry to say that she did convince me that I didn’t need as big a unit as I first thought (sorry Kennards your great employe could have gotten an extra couple of bucks a week out of me) but her helping me make the right decision for my needs, stopped me going somewhere else, I don’t know I would have gotten that elsewhere, therefore you got my business because your employee was customer focused, lots of businesses don’t get that. Thank you again and if you know the lady’s name, please pass on my Thank you to her." Adam "We thank Kennards North Lakes for their friendliness and no problem approach during our stay with them. We will be recommending Kennards North Lakes to other prospective customers. We particu- larly appreciated Owen's attention to detail with our specific needs in storage and Jason was most accommodating during our time utilising the facility. Thank you!" Corey & Tanya

Kennards Self Storage help support One Voice with donated storage space in NSW, VIC, QLD and SA. Right now One Voice could do with an extra helping hand. Covid-19 has meant that extra measures have had to be put in place with P.P.E. (Personal Protective Equipment). They are continuously looking at ways to raise more funds to keep the services on the streets. If you think you can help, please visit their web site at onevoice.org.au.
