Supporting the Local Community
Elephant Storage has been dedicated to supporting the local community and giving back since its opening in 2005. We provide our neighbours with affordable self-storage solutions and actively support local charities and organisations.
Elephant gives back through events and sponsorships. Supports charities – Feileacain, Purple House, Cancer Society, IRNL, Peter McVerry and Dublin Simon.
As a local company, we have support from Tallaght Children’s Hospital, the Alzheimer’s Society, Men’s Shed, and Rose Cottage, and we look forward to continuing to do so.
Elephant Family Charity
We are proud supporters of the Elephant family and the urgent work they do to help protect Asia’s landscape. ‘We protect Asia’s landscapes and the elephants, tigers and leopards and people who live alongside them in the most densely populated places on earth.’ The Asian Elephant, a majestic creature, has tragically lost 95% of its habitat and 90% of its population in the past 100 years, a crisis that demands our immediate attention.
‘Our works focus on sharing and sparing space between people and wildlife. We work with on-the-ground conservationists, forest officials and governments to enlarge, reconnect protected areas, and improve the living conditions for all species outside these spaces.’
Elephant Parade
Elephant Parade® is a social enterprise and runs the world’s largest art exhibition of decorated elephant statues. Created by artists and celebrities, each Elephant Parade statue is a unique art piece. The life-size, baby elephant statues are exhibited in international cities and raise awareness of the need for elephant conservation.
Limited edition, handcrafted replicas and a select range of products are created from the exhibition elephants. 20% of Elephant Parade net profits are donated to elephant welfare and conservation projects.
Elephant Parade products are sold exclusively in our BoxShop

Local Community
Men’s Shed Tallaght
Men’s shed in Tallaght is a great part of the local community. We have met the team over the years, shared a cup of coffee and they’ve told us why it’s such great support from men who live alone and can share any worries.
‘We aim to make it as easy as possible for any like-minded group of men in Ireland to set up, run and maintain a men’s shed. To this end, they provide information, resources and support to their member sheds throughout Ireland; listening and responding to their members’ concerns is a cornerstone of their ethos.’
Rose Cottage Day Care Centre
Elephant Self Storage are on going supporters of the Alzheimer Ireland. We give locally to the Alzheimers Rose Cottage in Tallaght. Mary Hickey who runs the facility is extremely proud of what she has created and rightfully so! This cottage provides the much needed respite care within the community, they do a range of activities, reading, drawing, baking and outgoing.
While the clients are busy in the facility Rose Cottage also provides a way of relief for there family, friends or carer by offering a professional and practical care service for a few hours per day to take a short break.
Acara – Lesotho Building Project
Elephant Storage’s MD Jude O’Meara, joined Acara and volunteered along with 60 others, some trade and most non-trade, to build a safe house in Lesotho South Africa. Even though the population of Lesotho is small it has the 2nd highest number of HIV cases in the world, leaving very young children without parents or a family. Grandparents usually step into the role to take care of children but a lot of the time the children are in vulnerable situations and need a safe place to stay.
The house built by Acara provides teaching facilities, kitchen, bedrooms with a garden to grow vegetables for the children and a much needed safe place.
With Thanks the support of Elephant Storage customers, friends and family Jude raised €7,000 towards the building material used. The following year Elephant Storage helped store supplies sent out to families.
