General tips for moving out:
You'll be able to donate your unwanted items at various halls during our Donation Café's in June and July.
Don't bin it, donate it.
Don't leave it all to the night before your checkout date. Book your transport in advance (whether that's a van or a favour from a friend with a big car), and make sure everyone helping you knows the plan.
Check our tried and tested recipe for Fridge Clear-Out Fried Rice. It's healthy, nutritious, and easy to put together with whatever you have in your fridge right now - No.1 empty your fridge recipe.
