At Magenta Self Storage Oxford, we’re passionate about supporting the people and organisations making a positive impact in our local community. One of those is Dr Saman Jamshidifard, founder and volunteer lead of HeartyEarth, a community driven initiative focused on connection, compassion, and inspiring change.
About HeartyEarth
Dr Saman is a part-time Senior Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University, a trustee for several charities and community centres, and a regular community volunteer. Through HeartyEarth, they help coordinate nearly 200 active and passive community ambassadors across Oxford and beyond, supporting seven initiatives in different locations.
The project is built around the ethos of “Aspire to Inspire”, encouraging people to support one another and make practical differences in their local communities.
The Challenge: Finding Space in Oxford
Like many community led organisations in Oxford, HeartyEarth faces an ongoing challenge: lack of space. Without a permanent premises, the initiative relies largely on a Surplus EV van to collect, store, and distribute items for families and charities in need.
Before using self storage, limited storage capacity often meant turning away donations or being unable to support families at critical moments.
Why Magenta Self Storage Oxford?
Magenta Self Storage Oxford stood out due to its convenient West Oxford location, easy access, and welcoming, supportive team. Being a local business with shared community values made the decision an easy one.
The flexible access hours and secure facility have been especially important, allowing HeartyEarth to operate around the varied schedules of volunteers and donation collections.
The Experience
From the outset, the level of customer service has been exceptional. The Magenta team consistently go the extra mile, offering practical support and showing genuine interest in the work HeartyEarth does.
One particularly meaningful aspect of the partnership has been Magenta’s willingness to help redistribute surplus items from other customers, ensuring they can be passed on to families or other charities who need them most.
The Impact
Since using Magenta Self Storage Oxford, HeartyEarth has been able to store more donations, respond more quickly, and support more families across the community. Having reliable storage has removed a major barrier and allowed the initiative to grow its impact.
The biggest benefit has been the freedom to say yes more often when help is needed.
A Strong Recommendation
Dr Saman wholeheartedly recommends Magenta Self Storage Oxford, encouraging others to compare not just prices, but service, accessibility, and community spirit.
At Magenta, we’re incredibly proud to support HeartyEarth and the inspiring work led by Dr Saman Jamshidifard. This partnership reflects what Magenta Self Storage Oxford is all about: creating space that enables positive change within our community.
