The Sherwood Exchange

18/06/2026

Hello folks.

Exciting news! Were about to become an official HOPE foodbank referral point so we can refer people in need to food bank support if they need it.

From now on though we will no longer be a sharewear donation point so please take your sharewear donations to the clothing bin outside St Judes Church Mapperley which is accessible 24/7

We will take small amounts of clothing as swaps for food and our clothing rail at the Sherwood Exchange however as we know you love your clothes exchange as much as i love your clothes you bring in!

Please do not that our volunteers also refer people to Sharewear Clothing Scheme where they can visit and choose a big range of clothing and shoes and bedding for all members of the family.

See you Saturday for some exchanging!

Good afternoon lovelies,

Rach here who ran the mindfulness sessions during our past wellbeing exchanges with a favour to ask.

My little mindfulness events company Mind Alive is about to become a community limited company which means I can apply for grant funding to offer free places on my courses and retreats! Retreats like these: bit.ly/4ko4UVm

I need your help! To be able to offer my wellbeing sessions for free, I need feedback to show they genuinely make a difference so I can win grant funding to pay for places on my courses and retreats.

If you’ve attended any of my classes in the last year, I’d be so grateful if you could spare 5 minutes to fill out this survey.

Here’s the link — it only takes a moment to complete. Thank you so much for your support.

Thanks in advance!

🌟 A big thank you to the lovely person who donated children’s toys to us this morning! We truly appreciate your kindness and support — it means a lot to us and to the families we help.

Just a quick reminder 💛

We only rent a room at The Place, which means we’re unable to accept donations during the week as other groups use the space too.

🗓️ Please bring any donations on our official opening days only. We are open this Saturday from 12-2pm. Please see attached leaflet for other details of opening times.

And a little note about what we can take:

🎁 We’re able to accept small toys only.
🚫 Unfortunately we cannot take prams, baby chairs, or other large items, as we don’t have the space to store or redistribute them.

Your support is always appreciated — truly.

Thank you for understanding and for continuing to support us. You’re helping us make a real difference 💛
