Don't swap till you get enough

Saturday 2nd November

Written by James Tilburn

We were lucky to have four of us this month as the November clothes swap was very busy. It was Ana's first task and she got stuck in straight away putting out clothes. Me and Abi did the same whilst Leanne looked after the drinks counter.

Another successful clothes swap overall. The next one is already listed so sign up for some festive fun.

Swap to it

Saturday 7th September

Written by James Tilburn

The first clothes swap of autumn meant lots of summer shirts and dresses being swapped for warmer clothing. The three of us got our steps in putting out the new stock and keeping the place tidy. After an hour and a half, the numbers died down and we were able to depart with a job well done.

Hangin' around

Saturday 3rd August

Written by York runner

The queue was as long as ever for the first summer clothes swap! We helped the other volunteers put out the clothes and generally keep an eye on proceedings, while picking up a couple of nice pieces for ourselves at the same time. A lovely morning at this great community event!

Road to brewing

Saturday 6th July

Written by James Tilburn

Just two of us helping the usual volunteers at the clothes swap this month. Jenna asked us to look after the café so we got to work washing up, making teas and dishing out biscuits to the throng of clothes swappers. Leanne was placed in charge of the music and collated an eclectic playlist of songs about clothing, some more appropriate than others for the vibe of the room.
