Pupils of Uphall and Highlands primary schools, are you ready to meet your new, favourite, and free piece of clothing?!
Then join the Our Streets team, TRAID and ELWA, for two FREE Clothes swaps on the below dates: *
Thursday 30 October @ Fullwell Cross Library, IG6 2EA, 13:00 – 16:00
Saturday 15 November @ Redbridge Central Library, IG1 1EA, 14:30 – 17:00
In addition to this, we will also be @ Ilford Exchange Mall, IG1 1RS, 12:00 – 15:00 for a free Christmas Jumper Upcycling and swap session where you can swap a jumper or upcycle an old one. Just in time for Christmas Jumper Day 2025 | Save the Children UK. We will send out more information closer to the time, but you may drop off your old Christmas jumpers on the above dates.
These free community events welcome all residents to refresh their wardrobes sustainably by swapping pre-loved clothes instead of buying new.
It’s a great way to reduce textile waste, support circular fashion, and connect with others who care about the environment.
In addition to this, you can get skilled up on how to repair clothes and receive ‘House of Colour’ advice on what clothes suit you best!
Adult and children’s clothes will be available on the day, whilst stock lasts.
Visit Love your clothes for further event information and Pre-Loved School Uniform Shop | Exchange Ilford | Shopping Centre in Ilford for school uniform purchasing and donations.
