Second Hand September is a campaign originally set up by a national charity to encourage people to shop for second hand clothing. We\u2019ve come up with our own take on it with some great ideas that are easy to try.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Say no to new<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Try not to buy any new non-essentials in September. (If that seems too hard, try a week to start with.)<\/p>\n

Fashion marketplace Depop claims the 18 to 35 age group alone could save a collective \u00a32.8 billion a year just by choosing second hand fashion.*<\/p>\n

While the original idea of Second Hand September focused just on clothing, the concept can be applied to anything you like \u2013 furniture, appliances, tech, toys, baby things, bikes and collectables.<\/p>\n

Save a second hand item<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Go through the cupboard under the stairs, the attic and explore the deepest, darkest depths of your wardrobes.<\/p>\n

Pick out some things you\u2019ve not worn or used for years. Rescue them from a sorry end by dusting them off, giving them a wash and bringing them back into use.<\/p>\n

Sell second hand<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Sell off a few things you don\u2019t need anymore. This gives other people a chance to join in Second Hand September and raises some extra cash too. Double win.<\/p>\n

Depop claims that users of marketplace sites could make anything from \u00a3350 to \u00a35,000 a year just by selling second hand fashion.*<\/p>\n

For anything you can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to sell, think of your local charity shops or freecycle scheme.<\/p>\n

Swap second hand<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Get together with your friends, relatives and colleagues and hold an informal swap shop. Swap something you don\u2019t use anymore for something you will.<\/p>\n

You could even turn this into a bigger event at your local community centre, church or school.<\/p>\n

Upcycle<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Upcycling involves breathing new life into an unwanted, unused item.<\/p>\n

For example, turning an unusual glass bottle into a table lamp or transforming old clothes into cushions using patchwork.<\/p>\n

Not only is upcycling a unique take on second hand, it is also fun, creative and a way of making some unique things for your home.<\/p>\n

Share on socials<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Sharing what you\u2019re doing for Second Hand September on your social media costs nothing. It will (hopefully) inspire others to join in and help us to collectively save billions of pounds.<\/p>\n

If you know someone who would enjoy joining in with Second Hand September, please share these tips with them.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
