Ham Green Screen and West London Waste are co-hosting a swishing – clothes swap – event on Friday, 2 December, at the Ham Library Community Space (further details at bottom of post).

It’s a chance to get a fabulous new outfit for nothing and to use clothing you no longer wear as currency to get clothes you will wear.

How it works

Each person must bring at least one good-quality item of clothing, shoes or accessories to take part – maximum 10, please.

Drop the items off and exchange them for tokens (1 item = 1 token).

When the Swish is declared open, clothes can be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tokens are returned in payment as clothes are taken from the event.

Note: Nightwear, swimwear and underwear including socks will not be accepted. Clothing that has shrunk, is stained or needs repairing (e.g. missing buttons, broken zips, loose sequins or beading, rips, tears, fabric pulls or holes, bobbly bits, disintegrating seams or hems, lint or fluff) will not be accepted.

Light refreshments will be on offer.

Girls and boys, men and woman all ages are welcome.

Those details again:
