Back to School Swap

10.00am – 11.00am: Drop Off

11.30pm – 11.45pm: Relaxed Shopping*

11.45pm – 1.00pm: General Shopping: items can be collected by anyone, regardless of whether they have donated

*Relaxed shopping is intended for those who require a quieter and less busy environment to shop, such as those with autism, those with a learning disability or anyone with a sensory predisposition. Shoppers will be given plenty of space by volunteers. Please only attend if you require this adjustment, as we don't want the space to be too busy for attendees.

Back to School Swap!

This is our first back to school swap, running alongside our regular clothes swap. Bring along school uniform, or day-to-day school appropriate clothes for non-uniform schools. These should be for children and teenagers up to age 18. 

Items to exchange should be clean, in a good condition, no marks or holes; please bring clothes in the condition in which you would like to receive them. 

We can accept the following clothes: tops, trousers, shorts, skirts, dresses, jumpsuits, coats, jackets, jumpers, cardigans, sports kit, suits, accessories, hats and shoes. No underwear, socks or swimwear. Accessories can include backpacks, lunchboxes, music bags, headbands etc.

We can also swap clothes and toys for babies, toddlers and children of all ages.

An unlimited number of items can be donated.

Books and Stationery

You can bring along working stationery items, including pens, notepads, study aids, calculators, folders and files, textbooks, reading books, arts and crafts items etc.  

Sports

We can also accept sports equipment, such as tennis rackets, sports shoes, footballs, swimming caps and goggles etc.

How does it work?

If this is your first time at one of our swaps, welcome! For this one-off swap, we won't be using raffle tickets to exchange for items, you can simple take away the items you'd like. You can donate and take an unlimited number of clothes or items.

Items which are not collected will be donated to charity. 

There is the option to buy a £3 ticket to support the running of the event, which is greatly appreciated. 

The space is generously donated by Knowles of Norwood. Please support the pub by buying food and drinks on the day.

Children attending the event must be accompanied and supervised at all times.
