Whiteley Clothes Swap Shop
Our first Clothes Swap Shop at Whiteley on Saturday 3rd August was a great success with an incredible amount of donations, swappers and brilliant feedback. We teamed up with the charity ‘Cash for Kids’ to host a FREE Clothes Swap which helps save the planet whilst bringing amazing finds to your wardrobe.
It was great to get feedback from the local community who seem keen to see the Clothes Swap Shop return so that those who missed out could get involved. So keep an eye out on our socials for another Clothes Swap in the future!
We had an amazing 403 items donated before the event and another 415 items donated on the day, making the total donations 818 for this event, 104 items were swapped while an amazing 82 people got involved.
Not only does this stop clothes going to landfill, but it also helps our nominated charity “Cash for Kids” continue supporting less fortunate kids.
