Children's Clothes Swap - November 2024

About the event

Have your children outgrown their clothes? Or is their wardrobe too full of clothes they simply don’t wear? Children grow out of clothes quicker than they wear them out.

Join us at City's Administration Centre for our KIDS’ Clothes Swap. We will provide a brief presentation on how to reduce textile waste going to landfill, how to dress your kids more sustainably, and shop mindfully. 
This is a great way to declutter all those good quality clothes that no longer fit your children and get some ‘new’ clothes for them for FREE.
 
In under 2 hours, you children could have a whole 'new' wardrobe. All you need to do is bring along QUALITY children clothes (clean/no stains/holes/damages/broken zips) and shoes, your children (age 1 to 14) don’t wear anymore (any style or season) and exchange them for items they will.

Bring up to 5 items and take as many as you like, and best of all, it’s FREE.
Any leftover clothes are donated.  

Check-list prior to the event:

• Are your items cleaned and free from permanent stains, holes, tears and/or anything that would make it unfit for resell?
• Underwear, sleepwear and tired gym clothes will not be accepted.
