#Declutter for Keech

1. Declutter one good-quality item a day, for a week. Hand your seven items in to your nearest Keech shop.
2. Don’t hold on to expensive items just because they cost a lot. Declutter and do something worthwhile with them by raising lots of money for us.
3. Ask someone who knows you well to choose one pre-loved item from your wardrobe, sitting room or kitchen that they feel you don’t need. Then, be strong! Declutter it!
4. Don’t dismiss specialist items like coins, old books, stamps, antiques, vintage clothing – we have experts who can value these items. If you’re not sure, check with us at 01582 492339 or retail@keech.org.uk.
5. See below lists of items we can sell and items we can’t – we’re making it easy for you to Hand in. Help out.

1. Declutter one room in the house a day – but only spend 15 minutes doing it.

2. Visualise one storage area in your home (wardrobe, dressers, kitchen surfaces etc), imagining it neat, tidy and full of space. What items form part of your visualisation? Keep those – declutter the rest!

3. Declutter just one item a day – for a month! You’ll certainly have filled a bag for Keech by the end.

4. Try four seasons decluttering! Turn all the hangers in your wardrobe so the clothes have their back to you. Each season, as you wear an item, turn the hanger the right way around. When each season ends, get rid of any clothes that still have their back to you.

5. Start a social media diary focused on finding one item of declutter a day. Make sure you tag us on Twitter @KeechHospice or on Instagram @keechhospicecare using the hashtag #DeclutterForKeech so we get to hear about it.
