Come along and out more about the wonderful climate and community action happening across our city, learn about opportunities to support or get involved and leave a lasting positive impact during your time at Leeds!

The event is open to members of the public, including students and staff of all sizes. We will have a selection of good-quality, second-hand clothes, household items and study materials for you to browse and take free of charge - you don’t have to bring stuff to swap for you to take for yourself!

Swap shops are where people can exchange their ‘unwanted’ stuff for ‘new’ items, aiming to tackle fast fashion, overconsumption and reduce waste as the resources for the production of new clothes, furniture and study materials. 

If you intend to bring clothes to donate, please ensure they have been washed.

Clothes with significant stains/tears can be dropped off providing they have been thoroughly washed. These items will not be offered as part of the Swap Shop, but will be salvaged for textiles re-use/recycling as appropriate.

Items accepted:

All clothes and shoes except underwear, swimwear, socks/tights

Accessories such as hats/gloves/bags

Otley Run costumes

Interview / formal attire 

Household items except electrical items

Study materials
