Time 11:00 - 11:45
Struggling with clutter like finding your clothes, keys, or opening the garage? You're not alone. Many people don't realise the connection between clutter and mental health.

This session explores clutter's effects on mental health, including hoarding, and offers practical strategies to manage clutter and get organised. Join us to declutter your life and improve your mental health.
