For a third time, Ealing Broadway is to host a free Clothes Swap Shop in its Town Square on Saturday 18th February 2023.
The Clothes Swap Shop marks the latest collaboration between Ealing Broadway and recycle partner, Love Not Landfill, following an initial partnership in 2018.
After donating their clothes, visitors will be given a maximum of ten tokens to spend on other items within the Swap Shop.
A free interactive workshop will also be on offer at the event, where children can create eco-friendly key rings and bracelets from leftover fabrics.
The event will be taking place during the following hours:
10am – 12pm: Drop off clothes and receive tokens
10am – 4pm: Sustainable craft workshop
1pm – 4pm: Swap tokens for items
As well as donating on the day, during the rest of the year, visitors can donate preloved items at Ealing Broadway’s two Love Not Landfill clothes banks, which are located by the entrance to St. Saviour’s Walk and on the First Floor in the centre. Last January saw Ealing Broadway’s biggest amount of donations with over a tonne of clothes being given.
Andrew Rollings, centre director at Ealing Broadway said: “Community and sustainability is a key priority for us at Ealing Broadway, especially as consumer demand for sustainable fashion is on the rise. It is great to see that shoppers are paying attention to what they can do to reduce waste by giving their unwanted clothes a new home. We’re really excited to see what the local community recycle from their wardrobes for Clothes Swap Shop.”
