Swap Shop

2 min. readlast update: 11.14.2024


The Swap Shop is a sustainable eco-friendly way for all students to come and update their wardrobe without costing a penny. 

This is a safe space for LGBTQIA+ students and welcomes everyone. 

We are lucky to receive donations from the Pretty Little Things sample sale and so some of the items will be brand new. 

How it works:

  • Simply clear out your wardrobe and drawers of any clothing you no longer want or wear and bring them into the Students' Union on the day of a Swap Shop.
  • Hand them to the staff at the swap shop event and then you can browse clothing that has already been donated and take home any items you like.
  • Any clothes which have been put out a number of times and not taken will be donated to a local charity.


Rules: 

  • For every 1 item you bring, you are able to take 2 items.
  • If you do not bring any items then you are limited to 2 items.

  • Please ensure all clothes that are donated have been washed and are in good condition.
  • For health and safety reasons we are not able to accept underwear or swim wear.


Please note: As all items are donations we are unable to ensure that all sizes are catered for at all events; however we regularly request donations for male/masculine sizes and plus/curvy sizes.
