Out with the old in with the new; give away your clothes in return for new ones.

Once a month the University holds clothes swap events to encourage the recycling of unwanted clothes and themed items.

The swap rules are:

• Bring three items or more of clean decent quality garments.
• Themed items must be in good working order.
• If you don’t have anything to swap then a £3.00 donation will be taken for a nominated charity.
• All garments of clothing including footwear are allowed but NO Underwear please.
• There are no rules as to how many items you take, we just ask that everyone plays nicely! Any remaining items are donated to Oxfam on Oxford Road.
