Through my work with clients, redesigning and decluttering, tidying and preparing properties both for sale and as refurbishments, I am able to work closely with charities in repurposing household items no longer needed.

I often find clients have unwanted furniture, clothes, books, pictures and homeware. I give what I can to charity, and in particular, I give to charities where I feel I can make a difference. One such charity is – The Childhood Trust, London’s child poverty charity, dedicated to alleviating the impact of poverty on children and young people living in the capital. Decorate A Child’s Life (DACL) is The Childhood Trust’s corporate volunteer programme that redecorates dilapidated bedrooms of children in poverty providing children with safe environments to learn, play, and grow. What I am not able to give to charity, I put online to various sharing/giving websites and anything left I recycle. I throw away as little as possible.

After the decluttering process, clients hopefully understand that by tidying their own belongings they are often in the position to help others.
