Description
During Sustainable Fashion Week, the swap shop will offer extended opening hours, a 'stitch it don't ditch it' clothing rail and mending kits. Drop by to exchange clothes and household items. You will find a shop crammed with all sorts of things from small electrical items to shoes and gloves.
This academic year so far, we have swapped a whopping 19,000 items, saving 7.6 tonnes of stuff from landfill, so come and find out all about it.
Open to all students, staff and members of the public.
This event is part of the nationwide Sustainable Fashion Week: SFW // FUTURE CITIZEN.
