A SWAP-shop has opened at Warrington’s Sir Thomas Boteler CE High School – to encourage recycling.
The swap-shop is based in the school’s art department and was created by head of art Sam Joice in a bid to teach students the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling, and to give them an avenue to steer them away from “fast fashion”.
Students can swap their nearly-new clothes for tokens, which they can then use to get different clothes through the swap shop.
They were asked: ‘Have you got clothes in your wardrobe that you don’t wear? Wore twice? Not your thing anymore, but still in good nick?
Then they were told how, by using the swap-shop , they could make sure the clothes can to go to a new, loving home. In return their wardrobe could be re-filled with pieces they loved to wear.
No cash involved!
