What is SwapStop?

Swap it. Don't bin it.

SwapStop gives pre-loved clothing another chance to be worn, enjoyed and loved. Our free clothes swaps pop up at events, schools and community spaces, making it easy for people to refresh their wardrobe without spending a penny.

Bring along clothes you no longer need, browse what's available and take something home. It's simple, completely free and helps keep good clothing in use for longer.

Completely free
No need to donate to take
Community focused
Better for the planet
More than swapping

Clothes can have another story.

SwapStop is about changing the way we think about clothes. Something sitting unworn in one wardrobe could become somebody else's favourite outfit.

Alongside our clothes swaps, we run creative upcycling workshops helping young people and communities discover ways to repair, reuse and transform clothing rather than throwing it away.

From turning old T-shirts into tote bags to creating patches, flags and completely new designs, we're showing that sustainable fashion doesn't have to be boring.

Keeping clothes in circulation.

We weigh the clothing moving through SwapStop so we can see the difference the project is making. This figure represents clothing collected, redistributed or responsibly passed on rather than simply being thrown away.
