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.
