👕♻‘How to run a clothes swap’ workshop with Change Clothes

Have you ever wanted to host a clothes swap but didn't know where to start? Join us for a hands-on workshop with Change Clothes that takes the guesswork out of community swaps.
From mastering stock management to solving those "what if" scenarios (like leftover clothes), you’ll leave with a step-by-step plan tailored to your local area. Stop the cycle of textile waste and start a new tradition of circular fashion in your community.

📆Friday, 27th November
📌Central Library, Lady Lane

1st Workshop: 🕐 12:30pm
This practical one-hour workshop introduces community groups and parent associations to the basics of running a successful local clothes swap. Participants will learn how to plan a small swap with minimal resources, including choosing a format, managing donations, setting clear swap rules, and creating a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. The session draws on Change Clothes’ experience of running swaps in communities across Ireland and is designed to build confidence, showing that swaps don’t need to be big or complicated to have real impact. Places are free but booking is essential, by emailing [email protected]

2nd Workshop: 🕐2pm to 4pm
This interactive two-hour workshop provides a hands-on guide to organising a community clothes swap from start to finish. Alongside practical guidance on logistics, space setup, and stock management, participants will explore common challenges, problem-solve real-world scenarios, and begin planning a swap tailored to their own community. The session also covers promotion, accessibility, and what to do with leftover clothing. By the end, participants will leave with a clear, realistic plan to run their own local swap and the confidence to put it into action. Places are free but booking is essential, by emailing [email protected]
