Gentle Sorting’s services come under four main categories and are usually offered in three-hour sessions, although this can be discussed to suit your needs.
Decluttering, tidying and/or organising any space in your home – helping you sort out areas of your home – or the whole house – to make better use of your home, create space for a new hobby, your life’s work or a change in circumstance. I also organise and tidy items that you want to keep but you feel need some order (e.g. art and craft materials, books, music, stationery, clothes, etc.), arranged alphabetically (where applicable), by colour, or in any other way that suits your needs.
Paperwork and admin – helping you to get on top of your paperwork and admin. A one-off session, or a number of sessions to help you organise existing material and create a system that works for you to manage your paperwork in the future.
Photo organising and life story work – helping you or a loved one to go through photos (physical and/or digital), to recall, celebrate and consider past events and loved ones. This service is offered as a life story activity with the aim of capturing memories and creating a life story book to be enjoyed. For those without many photos, a similar service is available using belongings to capture stories and create a memory box.
Supporting a move – helping you with a variety of aspects of your move, as much or as little as needed, including: decluttering and presenting your property for sale; sorting or downsizing your belongings; packing belonings you want to take; and planning the layout of your new home to suit your needs.
