Do you have anything you want to swap or are you looking to give something away?
Live on Zoom, our first online ‘Saturday Swap Shop’ will be hosted at ECO HUB, Glamis Hall. We will have a selection of items to swap and we invite you to swap with us and others on Saturday 21st January, between 10am and 2pm. It’s going to be fun and it’s free!
Wellingborough Swap Shop is a free and local exchange where members of the public can pass on things they no longer want, in exchange for something they need. You could describe it as a kind of bring-and-buy sale. Participants do not need to bring anything in order to take away goods, a small donation to the group will do too.
January Support Bags
January Support Bags will be available at ECO HUB with the Swap Shop.
Wilby Community Food Group and our Food Sharers group will be there 10:30-3:30 on the 21st January to give us the opportunity to help you and to save in date food that you won’t be using. Support Bags will work as follows:
- For a £5 donation you can choose 6 items.
- For a £10 donation you can choose 12 items.
Depending on the amount of donations and items available we may be able to be super helpful and allow some extras in your bags too, so get donating please! If anyone or everyone that is able to could donate the minimum of 1 item of food, cleaning products, laundry products, pet foods, pasta, toilet rolls, any unwanted, unopened and in date foods. Toiletries, tins, teabags, coffee etc etc. that would be so helpful. We’re All In. Northants is kindly donating the last bits of their stock to help and Food Sharers will donate some ambient foods too.
That jar of coffee auntie Joan brought round to use whilst she was at yours for Christmas but didn’t use – please donate it this way… The chocolate orange bar you put in little Tarquin’s stocking to fill it out but you know he doesn’t like chocolate orange – please consider donating it this way…. If you’ve started a new year-new you diet – all those naughty foods – hide them in our January Support Bags!
