Have you ever wanted to host a clothes swap but didn’t know where to start? Join us for a hands-on workshop with Change Clothes that takes the guesswork out of community swaps. From mastering stock management to solving those “what if” scenarios (like leftover clothes), you’ll leave with a step-by-step plan tailored to your local area. Stop the cycle of textile waste and start a new tradition of circular fashion in your community.
2 hour ‘How to run a clothes swap’ workshop with Change Clothes @ 10am Friday 17th April 2026 in Central Library, Lady Lane, Waterford.
This interactive two-hour workshop provides a hands-on guide to organising a community clothes swap from start to finish. Alongside practical guidance on logistics, space setup, and stock management, participants will explore common challenges, problem-solve real-world scenarios, and begin planning a swap tailored to their own community. The session also covers promotion, accessibility, and what to do with leftover clothing. By the end, participants will leave with a clear, realistic plan to run their own local swap and the confidence to put it into action.
