This event You'll be able to drop off clothes from 3, but we won't allow anyone in to swap from 3:40 to ensure everything is set up. The bar will be open as normal during the event. There will be a changing room and a mirror. You can find us in the back room. We try to recycle clothes where possible, but we would really appreciate it if you could check that donations are clean and in good condition (i.e. not bobbled, ripped or stained). If you don't have clothes to swap but you want to take clothes, that's fine! We'll be taking financial donations to Trans Support Hub CIC, which helps us keep these events free for those who can't afford an entry fee. We've already got plenty of donations from our previous events, so whether you arrive at the start or the end of the event we'll have items to choose from. Where possible, we try to provide more specialist trans-related items, such as binders and chest enhancers. If you've got any, we'd really appreciate it as they don't stay with us for long. If you're not a member of Wharf Chambers already, please make sure you sign up (it's £2 per year) https://wharfchambers.org/membership/ Why Clothes Swaps? Clothes swaps are a great way to explore your style, help others and save clothes from going to landfill. About us We've been putting these events on since July 2022, and it's been heartwarming to see so many people exploring their style, their gender, or just revamping their wardrobe for something fresh. We'll be taking pictures to promote the work we do and future events. Please let us know on arrival if you don't want us to take your picture. Can't wait to see you all there!
