Let's rejuvenate your wardrobe sustainably! Say goodbye to those forgotten pieces and discover new treasures at our Clothes Swaps.
Not only is this a fantastic way to update your style without the cost, but it also reduces carbon emissions by approximately 70% compared with buying new.
The fashion industry contributes around 10% of global carbon emissions due to the energy-intensive processes involved in producing, transporting, and packaging new clothes.
Open to all students from the Intercollegiate Halls and the UCL community.
How it Works:
1. Bring Your Preloved Clothing: Dig out those items you've outgrown or no longer wear and bring them along. The clothing must be clean, free of faults, and of a good quality. We have the right to reject items at the volunteer's discretion if we don’t think the quality is high enough. Please also bring your student/staff ID card!
2. Browse and Select: Find something you like? It's yours to take home!
3. Loyalty Card: Didn’t find your perfect item this time? No worries! Grab a loyalty card, which gives you the chance to return to a future event and find something new. Our inventory is always changing, so there’s always a chance for a great find!
We will be running 5 swaps across the academic year. Our Clothes Swap events will be held on the first Friday of November, December, February, March, and May this year.
Three of them will be held in the foyer of the UCL Student Centre.
Two of them (Dec and May) will be held at The University of London’s Senate House.
1. Friday November 1st – UCL, Student Centre foyer
2. Friday December 6th – University of London, Senate House (click here to register)
3. Friday February 7th - UCL, Student Centre foyer (click here to register)
4. Friday March 7th – UCL, Student Centre foyer
