Need new threads for winter, but not feeling that capitalist vibe? Want to pimp your wardrobe, without contributing to total ecological collapse?
Join us for a clothes swap in a supportive and inclusive setting.
*All genders, ages, shapes, sizes, and styles very warmly welcome!*
There's plenty of room for everyone.
Entry by koha to Wellington Homeless Women's Trust
How it works
Bring any clothes you no longer love, and take away new threads for you, your partner(s), the small and big people who live with you, your neighbors, your gran, maybe even your dog friends.
Other donations
Wellington Homeless Women's Trust are currently looking for donations of bodywash, and decor for their rooms. They want to make the accommodation they provide welcoming and homely. There will be a spot at the swap to drop off these donations.
Catering
Free vegan baked goodies! Free coffee and tea from the fantastic folk at People's Coffee and Commonsense Organics. Other lovely things!
Early drop-offs are available
You can drop off your clothes from 9am on the day or at drop off points in Wellington in the days before - contact us for details at newtownclothesswap@gmail.com.
Accessibility
The venue is wheelchair accessible and has accessible and gender-neutral toilets.
Volunteering
If you'd like to volunteer to do some (vegan) baking, or help with set up and running on the day, please get in touch.
