WHEN:

05/12/2024

12:00-14:30

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Join the Green Team for a Swap Shop! Drop your pre-loved clothing and books at The Students' Union Reception anytime between 09:00 and 16:00 Monday to Friday before the event, or bring them in on the day. The more clothes and books you bring = the more clothes and books you can take.

Swap don't shop! It's better for the planet and better for your bank account. The fashion industry has a hugely negative impact on the environment, swap shops are a great way to have a positive impact.
