As an aside...my mother swears by storing her salt sellar in the fridge instead of the cupboard....and it is never clumpy!

I might be wrong, but I think lakeland sell something like a clay bear shaped thing to put in with sugar to stop it getting damp. Or was I dreaming?

Nope you weren't!! (well, perhaps only a little bit)

It's at http://www.lakelandlimited.co.uk/product.aspx/!1413

But it does say it's for brown sugar and it's to stop it from going hard and lumpy. Don't know if it would work for white sugar too especially as you have to WET the bear before putting it in the sugar!

Just wondered, does your kitchen get all steamy when you cook? This could cause your sugar to get damp and clumpy.
Another idea is to find a pretty jam jar (with lid) and keep your sugar in there with a spoon.
