Summary

Keeptake are a company with two big goals; one is to help people make their memories everlasting and the other is to use business as a way to bring positive change to the world. Their first step towards these goals is through a ten year guided journal called My Life in Chapters. For every My Life in Chapters book that is bought from Keeptake, a portion of the profits will go towards diverting a book from landfill via Books2Africa. 

My Life in Chapters is a ten-year journal that captures the essence of who you are at the end of each year —everything from your greatest passions to your favourite everyday moments. It only takes 1-2 hours to fill out each year and once completed, My Life in Chapters will create a snapshot of a decade of your life, which is just as fun to read back as it was easy to write.

Why partner with Books2Africa?

Keeptake strongly believes that everyone across the globe deserves access to books as an educational resource. Books2Africa provide a practical and environmentally friendly way of providing people with this resource, by diverting used books away from landfill and into the hands of those in need. With Keeptake being an environmentally conscious business itself, this was the ideal partnership.

At the launch of the company’s kickstarter campaign launch on October 7th, Prash Gor, the co-founder of Keeptake said “used over time, we believe that My Life in Chapters will become your most prized possession. It will be the perfect looking glass into your most valuable memories, as well as the ideal heirloom to pass on to future generations.”

Charity Shop FAQs

We try our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. After dispatch, our standard delivery (Royal Mail First Class) typically arrives the next day in the UK (but can take up to 7 days), in 6 days to the EU and 10 days worldwide. It is important to note that delivery times are out of our control, as we do not deliver the goods ourselves.

If the error is ours, we will reprint free of charge. If the error is yours, we will reprint for 25% of the original amount. If we have sent you the wrong size garment, we will absolutely remake it for you in the right size when you return it. 

The guidance measurements given next to the shirts are supposed to represent what size person they fit. They are not the actual measurements of the garment itself, which naturally need to be larger than the person they are designed to fit.

Firstly, please ignore the washing instructions in the garment itself. These are for blank garments and not printed ones.

Wash your shirts at 40 degrees or less. Iron on reverse (cool). Do not tumble dry.

Whilst Royal Mail normally deliver all first class post within 1-2 working days, they can on occasion take longer. In the unlikely event that your goods do not arrive, allow 7 days before calling us. We cannot authorise any remakes before this time has passed as Royal Mail have been known to deliver within this time.

However, if you paid to have Express delivery, contact us immediately as we can provide you with the tracking reference to chase it with the carrier.
