Youth empowerment

Young volunteers take the lead in planning, organising, and running the event, creating a positive, inclusive space where they can build confidence, gain practical experience, strengthen supportive connections, and feel a strong sense of purpose and belonging. 

Their involvement is recognised as meaningful project‑based volunteering that helps them develop skills, experience, networks, and community pride, while showcasing the valuable contributions young people make to local life.

Staffed by youth volunteers but open to everyone

This event is open to the whole community, but it’s designed with young people and powered by youth volunteers. It’s a chance for the public to come along, get involved, and actively support local young people as they step into leadership, build skills, and contribute to their community.

Clothes Swap rules

Participants to bring five to ten clean, good-quality, undamaged garments and accessories they would be happy to give to a friend. Items are exchanged without money; you swap the clothes you bring for new-to-you pieces from the collective pool. The goal is to refresh your wardrobe sustainably, reduce textile waste, and support a circular fashion economy.

Before the swap

Check your items: Ensure all clothes, shoes, and accessories are clean, free of stains, rips, or missing buttons, and in excellent, "giftable" condition.
Avoid specific items: Underwear, used pyjamas, socks or overused workout gear.
Consider quality and style: You can bring retro, vintage, handmade, or items from all brands, but focus on items that are versatile and generally desirable.
How the swap works:

Drop off items: Bring your items to the event for check-in at 11. Arriving on time will ensure access to most items.
Start swapping:  You can begin selecting new-to-you items from the collective offering, using your brought items as "currency" which you will receive tokens for.
The Eco aspect

Sustainability: The core idea is to reduce fashion waste and the environmental impact of fast fashion.
Circular economy: Swapping promotes the reuse of clothing, giving items a second life and fostering a circular fashion economy.
Community: Swaps create a space for people to connect, share style tips, and build community around sustainable living and conscious consumption.
Cost of Living: Support our community with cost-of-living challenges.

*No guarantee that you will find the same number of items you brought in as donated items vary within the collective pool. 

This event is proudly designed and powered by local youth volunteers, as part of a Council initiative that helps build skills, confidence and community pride.
