****EVENT RESCHEDULED DUE TO VOLUNTEER SHORTAGE***

Come along for a freebie or a bargain on Saturday 13th June at the glorious Yourspace.sutton for our next community event.

We will be hosting a freecycle and swap event. You heard right! FREEcycle - where we will have a selections of items you never knew you needed until you saw it. All in the name of saving them from the landfill.

We have a curated wardrobe waiting to come home with you, with seasonal clothes and accessories to swap and shop from

How the swap works :

Bring up to 5 items that are clean, free from hair/dust/bobbling that can be exchanged for points. These points can then be exchanged for something new to you. All items are also available to buy without swapping

There will also be a selection of items free in hope of finding a new home
