Make the most of the school summer holidays with these top tips for a sustainable and budget-friendly family holiday from Smartroom Self Storage. From crafty activities to exploring the great outdoors, these tips will help reduce your impact on the environment while having fun.

Get crafty Create insect hotels or DIY labels for your garden with recycled materials for an opportunity to get crafty and support local wildlife habitats. Smartroom Self Storage has even installed insect homes and bird boxes at their stores, providing homes for local wildlife in the cities they’re based in.

Explore the outdoors Take advantage of the summer sunshine by exploring nature, venturing into the countryside, hiking local paths, or heading to the beach. Encourage the family to log their favorite nature spots or craft a bird-watching diagram for an educational masterclass. Camping is a great budget-friendly alternative to a summer holiday that doesn’t involve a long-haul flight.

Turn fitness into fun Get the family involved in fitness activities like cycling, paddleboarding, or playing with a jump rope. Hire equipment from a local supplier or purchase second-hand equipment to help reuse and cut costs. Smartroom Self Storage offers storage solutions for your equipment during the winter months, keeping them safely out of the way but on hand ready for summer.

Giving back to the community Consider taking part in a beach clean if you live by the coast or are planning a trip to the seaside. The National Trust looks after 780 miles of coastline and is always looking for volunteers to help keep our shores clear of rubbish.
