A month-long sustainable drive returns for its second year as people are challenged to wear one item of clothing or an accessory from a charity shop every day.

Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care is encouraging Buckinghamshire people to take part in the campaign known as Sustainable September.

The charity will send out a weekly email newsletter with styling tips and tricks from personal stylist and founder of Luxe Leopard Lifestyle, Alex Standley.

Each newsletter will feature a theme to inspire participants with their outfits for that week.

Those taking part are asked to tag Rennie Grove Peace on Instagram or Facebook and use #RGPSustSept.

There will be a prize draw at the end of the month that will include anyone who has uploaded a photo and tagged the charity during the 30-day campaign.

In the same month, the Rennie Grove Peace Beaconsfield ReLoved Boutique, which stocks high-end and designer pre-owned items, will host its annual fashion show fundraising evening.

The event has already sold out for the second year running and will be hosted by Bucks-based personal stylist Emma Lou.

Rennie Grove Peace currently has 33 high street shops, with 13 across Buckinghamshire and also has an online presence via its eBay shop. 

Rennie Grove Peace charity shops raise vital income to fund its services which support patients in Bucks with life-limiting illnesses. Items donated to the charity have previously included brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Mulberry and Christian Dior.

Deborah Gould, director of retail & Trading at Rennie Grove Peace, said:  “We’re delighted to be bringing Sustainable September back as an even bigger and better event in its second year.

"Second-hand fashion continues to grow in popularity and this challenge is a great way for us to showcase how pre-loved clothing can be part of your everyday routine. 

“People who took part last year told us they enjoyed the challenge of creating different outfits throughout the month.

“We’re encouraging people to head down to their local Rennie Grove Peace shop to see what they can find.

“Whether it’s a whole outfit, one piece or an accessory, there’s something for everybody in our shops and the fun comes in how you mix and match items throughout the month.”

Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care provides care and support for adults and children with a progressive life-limiting illness, and those who care for them, in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.   

Patients are supported through the combination of outpatient, rehabilitation and supportive care services.
