LETTER: Clear the clutter for good cause

I'm writing to encourage readers to clear out their clutter, get rid of all of those items they no longer need and host a Good Neighbours Yard Sale (sponsored by Coldharbour) to raise vital funds for older people's charity Royal Voluntary Service (formerly WRVS) before the end of October.

Research by the charity reveals that clutter fills a room or more in one in five homes in Britain.

Even though 36 per cent say they always try to keep unused or unwanted items to a minimum, 92 per cent confess to clutter with a third (33 per cent) admitting they have a lot of items they no longer want or need.
