Description
Join the Green Team for a swap shop!
Drop your pre-loved clothing and books at The Students' Union reception anytime between 09:00 and 16:00 from Monday to Friday before the event, or bring them in on the day.
The more clothes and books you bring = the more clothes and books you can take.
Swap don't shop! It's better for the planet and better for your bank account. The fashion industry has a hugely negative impact on the environment, swap shops are a great way to have a positive impact.
