Declutter Dollies

“Dilly has the ability to glance at any space and within seconds know the changes that need to be made. The speed in which she works, and the passion for her work is unrivalled, she doesn’t just know organisation, she knows the value of space and how to be in control of it and most importantly how to change it.” Dilly Carter is a masterclass in detoxing space. A straight-talking and practical professional organiser who believes that if we all cut the clutter, live better with less and give ourselves more headspace, we will enjoy life more. She is the founder of Declutter Dollies, an organising and home styling service that promises to turn her clients' chaos into calm and help them discover the health benefits of living in an organised home. Dilly is the author of Create Space – a room-by-room guide to organising your home with a fresh and relatable take on the link between mental wellbeing and decluttering - and provides decluttering advice on BBC One’s Sort Your Life Out. As a teenager Dilly worked folding clothes in luxury boutiques and then later as an assistant and personal shopper where she gained an understanding of how to create, organise and sustain stylish yet functional spaces. A lifelong passion for fashion and an uncanny ability to bring order to a chaotic environment has seen her cleanse and curate the wardrobes and homes of high-profile celebrities, busy professionals and stressed-out mums alike. Known as @declutterdollies to her 100k+ Instagram followers around the world, Dilly now extends her helping hand on social media and via virtual cleanses. She helps private clients and followers become more organised in their day to day lives by encouraging them to implement small ‘Dolly Dashes’ to chip away at domestic disarray. Sharing organising hacks and tips, Dilly proves that you can not only make your home beautiful, but truly make it work as a place of sanctuary. Full of practical solutions, advice and techniques, Dilly truly believes in the connection between outer order and inner calm. By clearing out your home, you can also clear your mind, improve your relationships and enhance your wellbeing. Dilly truly learned the value of decluttering when she began helping her mother, who suffers from bipolar disorder, organise her 'living chaos' at home. Her extraordinary personal story, that saw her adopted from Sri Lanka aged three and now caring for her mother who lives with Dilly and her young family, has been an inspiration to many and she has generated a loyal fleet of fans (her dollies!) Dilly doesn’t just make your space tidy. She makes it work.

Montrose Tennis Club is delighted by the faith shown by announcing a £23400 grant award from sportscotland – the national agency for sport. This investment, which is a 50 % grant of the money required to create two mini red courts, will complement the original six LTA standard courts already with upgraded surfaces and all floodlit. The grant ensures that the five year development plan to create a tennis centre of excellence is very much on track. The further money required has been fundraised by club members and the club’s sinking fund, as well as grants from Montrose Common Good, Aberbothock Skea Trust and Colin Grant Trust and any additional donations from local business would be appreciated too. The court build will commence after the club championships later in August. At the club, there is presently a great demand for tots tennis while the under 10 age groups continue to grow and we will now have an area to develop both their skills and play appropriate tournaments on. This new area will also be ideal for disability groups where they can focus in a smaller area and enjoy learning new eye to ball skills as well as holding tournaments. There is a definite spin-off from high profile tennis influenced by Andy Murray. Welcoming the funding Montrose Tennis Club’s secretary, Rhona Alston said “This development will continue to help Montrose Tennis Club, widen accessibility to the sport of tennis within the community and increase membership to the club. Now with the aid of full time coach Graeme Walker and Performance coach Kris Soutar plus invited coaches, there are programmes for all ages, ranging from three-year-olds to programmes for school pupils right up to veterans”. Mrs Alston continued: “Significantly, Montrose is well and truly on the tennis map, with three competing ladies teams, three men’s teams, four mixed doubles teams and the only club in Tayside to be playing out four junior teams as well as competing in junior Aegon fixtures all over Tayside and Aberdeenshire”. Last year was the first time the club were able to hold an official LTA tournament, reinstating the famous old “North Angus Tournament” now sponsored by Doug & Sandra Cree from D C Lighting Services Ltd, and it is on again this year 26th, 27th and 28th June. Entries are now open on LTA Tennis Scotland website and we are hopeful of attracting even more entries.
