Hello Fellow Swappers. Fancy a new wardrobe for free? Update your wardrobe and beat the credit crunch by bringing a minimum of three items of clothing to the SUST Swap Shop at 8th Day Café on Oxford Road, Manchester on Monday 11 May, clothes drop off 5.45-6.15pm Swapping 6.15-7pm FREE if you have three items of clothing and £1 if you don't. Donations also welcome.
Thank you for attending the previous SwapShop. I am pleased to confirm the next date for the SwapShop is Monday 11 May 2009 and will be held at 8th Day Cafe.
The Swap Shop is a simple way of reusing old clothes. It's a collaboration between Action for Sustainable Living, Manchester Friends of the Earth and the Make Trade Fair Society at Manchester University.
DID YOU KNOW that it's great if you pass on your clothes to charity shops, but that you can do even more by actually using second-hand clothes. An issue for British charity shops is that only 10-20 per cent of their clothes are actually resold in the UK.
'Because new clothes are so cheap it doesn't always make financial sense to recycle. Statistics say recycling is now a declining market, but we think that it still makes sense to the environment'.

Please let me know if you are able to assist on the night, otherwise I look forward to seeing you all at the next SwapShop.
Many thanks
