‘Cash in the Attic’ star says ‘Get de-cluttering for Guide Dogs’

TV’s ‘Cash in the Attic’ star Jonty Hearnden is encouraging local people to join his New Year resolution for charity; cleaning out the old and welcoming the new by de-cluttering for Guide Dogs.

Says Jonty: “De-cluttering is not only a way to breathe new life into your home, it’s also a great way of raising money for charity - one person’s unwanted Christmas presents, unworn clothing or old furniture can be a real find for someone else!”

It’s part of Guide Dogs’ fundraising initiative, Get together. Every month the charity launches a new theme to encourage people to raise money – and January is all about turning trash into treasure for the charity.

Selling unwanted items on eBay, at car boot sales, jumbles, or at ‘swap-shop’, or swishing events and donating the proceeds to Guide Dogs; this will make a difference to the charity’s services for blind and partially-sighted people.

Guide Dogs has put together tips to help people looking for a treasure trove in their attic; details available on the website: www.guidedogs.org.uk/gettogether

The guide dog service receives no government funding and relies on the generosity of the public to fund its services, meaning a bit of de-cluttering by everyone can make a real difference to the lives of blind and partially-sighted people.
