Swords Tidy Towns Clothes Swap
INFO [what will be done]
Description:
Swords Tidy Towns is organising two festive community clothes swap events to encourage reuse, reduce textile waste and promote more sustainable consumption. The events will give people an opportunity to pass on good-quality clothing they no longer need and find something pre-loved, helping to extend the life of garments and reduce the demand for new purchases.
Alongside the clothes swaps, we will host a community upcycling craft activity, where scrap fabric will be transformed into Christmas decorations, demonstrating how unwanted textiles can be given a new purpose rather than thrown away.
The events aim to make reuse accessible, practical and enjoyable, while raising awareness of textile waste and the environmental impact of fast fashion. By bringing people together to share, swap and create, we hope to encourage lasting changes in everyday consumption habits and strengthen a culture of reuse and resourcefulness within the community.
Visitors will also be encouraged to bring their own reusable cups, helping to reduce single-use waste.
