Waterside Clothes Swaps

31/05/2026

🙏 Thank you to everyone you volunteered, donated and swapped some clothes today!

⭐ It was a fabulous launch at our new venue, which we hope will be our swap's permanent home.

⭐ It would be great to hear your thoughts on the venue, the clothing, the layout etc.

⭐ Also, we would love to welcome more of you to volunteer to help with the swaps. Drop us a message if you would like to find out more.

🥰 You donated £150, which will be split between the Royal British Legion and Lucie's Place. The money raised helps to buy essential items like toiletries for Lucie's Place - our sister project which distributes supermarket food waste in the community.

We need a campaign to also make this law here.

A quiet rule change in Europe could transform how the entire fashion industry treats waste, value, and responsibility.

From July 2026, the European Union will prohibit the destruction of unsold clothes and shoes, pushing major fashion brands to rethink overproduction and disposal practices.

Instead of discarding perfectly usable items, companies will need to explore recycling, reuse, donation, and smarter production planning—marking a decisive shift toward sustainability in one of the world’s most resource-intensive industries.

Sometimes progress begins not with invention, but with a simple boundary that says waste is no longer acceptable in the future we are trying to build.
