SUST Clothes Swap Shop

04 May 2010

Find a new wardrobe for free on 10 May

Fancy a new wardrobe for free? Update your wardrobe and beat the credit crunch by bringing a minimum of three items of clean clothing to the SUST Swapshop at Eighth Day Café on Oxford Road, Manchester, on Monday 10 May:

Clothes drop-off 5.45-6.15pm
Swapping 6.15-7pm

FREE if you have three items of clothing and £1 if you don't. Donations also welcome.

Items can include garments, shoes, bags, accessories, please make sure all items are clean. Please, no underwear!

The Swapshop is a simple way of reusing old clothes, which we believe makes sense for the environment and financial sense too. The Swapshop is a collaboration between:

Action for Sustainable Living
Manchester Friends of the Earth
STARS at The University of Manchester
and
On The Eighth Day Cafe

Did you know? It's great if you pass on your clothes to charity shops, but you can do even more by actually using second-hand clothes. An issue for British charity shops is that only 10-20 per cent of their clothes are actually resold in the UK.

Please forward this message to your friends. We look forward to seeing you on 10 May.
