Swapping is a great and thrifty way to update your wardrobe, save money and help to fight fast fashion and textile waste. If you have clothes in good quality condition that you once loved but are no longer your favourites or perhaps no longer fit perfectly bring them to our Seniors Clothes Swap Party. This way you are giving them a second life with someone new who will treasure them.
- Check in 11:00am to 11:45am
- Event starts 12:00pm
You can bring up to 6 items per person to our swapping event. We encourage all sizes and gender to participate in the swap party. For each item you drop off, you will receive a button [token] which can then be used to select another item.
This event is open only to seniors who are Sutherland Shire Council residents.
What items we will accept:
- Clean and folded
- Good quality clothing with a long potential lifespan (avoid fast-fashion brands)
- Free of faults or with minor faults that are easy to repair (for example a missing button)
What items we will not accept:
- Anything pilled, pongy or too far from perfect
- Dirty and stained items
- Underwear/ undergarments
- Swimwear
- Tracksuits
- Shoes
Please note that we have quality screening processes at our events.
Please note the items that do not meet the criteria will not be accepted into the swap.
Any items leftover after the event finishes are donated to a local charity.
Council staff may take photos and or videos at this event. We might use those images in our publications, on website or social media or other communications. Please tell a staff member on the day if you don't want your image used.
