Question 5

Do you accept children's clothes?

Unfortunately we haven’t set up a children’s swap. We are powered by volunteers and we are doing the best we can. We think a children’s swap is a brilliant idea. We encourage parents to organise regular swap events in their children’s schools.

Question 6

Where is the clothes swap?

Accepted Answer

We host two swaps every month in Rebel Reads Bookshop and St. Peter's.

Check out our events page to find their locations.

Question 7

How can I help?

Accepted Answer

We are completely run by the passion and support of our volunteers. We are always open to people joining the team.

As our goal is not to make money, our events are almost free. Therefore by donating, you help keep this project running.

You can spread the word by leaving a review on Google.

Our ultimate goal is to spread the concept of swapping clothes far and wide. If you want to chat about furthering our mission, get in touch!

Question 8

I love buying new clothes, and I don't want to stop. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Hey, so first of all don’t beat yourself up. We all love wearing beautiful clothes. It would be great if we could all become minimalists, but we are not holding our breath. We recommend educating yourself on the fashion industry so you can make informed consumer choices.
