Re:So clothes swap

Following the success of Re:So's clothes swap in the spring, staff, students and the local community are invited to take part in another one this October.

Clothes swaps are a great way to refresh your wardrobe sustainably, while clearing out old items that can go to a new home. We are delighted to have the support of John Lewis at West Quay's FashionCycle scheme, with a proportion of leftover items being recycled and donated to selected charities.

To take part

• Bring along a bag of your unwanted clothes
• Make sure your items - both clothing and accessories - are clean and in good condition
• Bring only women's and men's wear
• Swap your bag for another or simply drop off your clothing and feel good knowing it's being re-used or recycled.

At Re:So's spring swap, close to 200 items were saved from landfill - thanks to you! Come along this Wednesday 16 October to help make an even bigger impact.
