Bring your unwanted CLOTHES to this Clothing/Textiles event on Sat 2nd Sept 2-5pm, run by Horsforth Climate Action at St Margaret’s Church- find out lots of ways to Revive, Re-use and Rewear clothes rather than adding them to landfill! You can SWAP them for free, or DONATE MEN’s CLOTHES for local refugees; bring your clothes that need mending and get them repaired, and bring unwanted school uniform to swap for what you need! Plus make a pan scourer or learn about natural nappies! Don’t forget the regular Repair Cafe will also be running at the same time next door in the Parish Centre.Read More →
