Supporting local charities and communities
Clothes Swap Swindon
Who We Are
Clothes Swap Swindon started in 2007 in Bethan Truemans lounge as a small friends swap. As interest in this grew, our founder Kaity Beale stepped up as the event manager and found us our first venue as a public event.
Since then, we have raised over £10,000 for local charities, saved hundreds of thousands of items from ending up in landfill, and had thousands of local Swindon people come through our doors to support us.
Today, we are a small team who cares deeply for recycling, helping those in need, our community - and of course clothes! We love putting on these events for all of you and our charities, and will always uphold our mission values, whilst having fun!
We hope that with your support, we can continue to grow our community of swapppers and help us raise more money for local Swindon charities.
What We Do
Clothes Swap Swindon connects with local charities and creates fundraising events to raise money for those in need. Many of the charities we support are small and local so all the funding we get them makes a huge difference!
Reducing waste and helping the environment is very important to us, and by participating in our events, you help save items from going to landfill, help to reduce fast fashion use and decrease your carbon footprint! That's why we always say "Swap Don't Shop!
Our events currently happen every 3 months, and we spotlight a chosen charity for that event to help raise funds and awareness - please explore our events and FAQs for further details!
