It’s National Volunteers Week 🤗

We wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to all of our fantastic volunteers! Whether you’ve given up a day, an afternoon, or an hour of your time to support us - thank you. You’re helping us keep textiles out of landfill, and make sustainable clothing choices accessible.

As a new social enterprise, volunteers are invaluable to our mission. The feet on the ground that keep the cogs spinning, and our doors open, whilst we work behind the scenes. With the help of volunteers last month, we were able to…

✅ Extend our opening hours
✅ Schedule our first free workshop
✅ Raise funds to pay for web design

And there is no limit to what we can achieve with your help!

➡️ If you’d like to volunteer, and help us extend the benefit that Swap Shop has in the community. Please do get in touch!

Message us or pop in this week to find out more.

Open Wed - Sat,
