You heard it here first!

Due to the success of the last swap, we've decided to do it once again!

EmpowerMe Wales - this blogs Alter Ego!! along with a little help from my Friends! Leena Mooneram will be organising a clothes swap.

Clothes swapping; fun, ethical, and guilt free and it’s taking place at David Lloyd, Cardiff on Saturday 21^st May.

Lost weight and have a wardrobe full of clothes that no longer fit? Have wardrobes full of ‘occasional’ wear that don’t see the light of day? Shoes and accessories that just aren’t quite your style? Swap them.

All proceeds will be donated to Cardiff Women’s Aid. All unclaimed items will be donated to Cardiff Women’s Aid and Cancer Research.

How it Works:

You bring any clean and unwanted items of clothing, jewellery, shoes and accessories that you no longer wear or want and swap them for clothes and accessories that you do want and will wear. It’s as simple as that!

What to Do:

- Check out your wardrobe. Sort out & identify the items you want to swap.

- Drop off your items at one of the locations below.

- Pay £4 at the door on Saturday 21^st May and you can take your pick of whatever is there.
