Borrow a Clothes Swap Kit for your community event!

In keeping with circular economy principles, Fingal County Council supports and promotes clothes swaps as an effective way to tackle fast fashion. Instead of contributing to textile waste, why not bring your items to a clothes swap event? Your clothes get a new lease of life, and you’ll walk away with some new-to-you pieces.

To support local groups and schools in Fingal, a FREE Clothes Swap Kit is available to borrow for community events. Along with the kit, you’ll receive handy tips on how to successfully run a clothes swap. This initiative, a partnership between Fingal County Council and Change Clothes, aims to promote sustainable fashion and strengthen community connections across Fingal. Hosting a clothes swap is a great way to bring people together, reduce textile waste, and even raise funds for worthy causes.

No experience needed — the Change Clothes team will help you get started. Want to run a swap? Visit changeclothes.org/fingalcountycouncil to learn more and reserve your kit. We also have a useful guide with handy tips and tricks on how to run your clothes swap event and to make sure it is a success. Fingal Clothes Swap Guide
