Saturday’s Sizzling Summer Style

Good for the world, good for your wallet, good for your wardrobe!

The Clothing Giveaway on a Saturday? Surely not! But yes, we are holding our first Saturday Clothing Giveaway this Saturday, July 25th, 10am-3pm at St Mark’s.

We’ve got masses of summer clothes to give away, all FREE!

Restock your summer wardrobe with beautiful, pre-loved clothes and save yourself a fortune while helping the environment.

The fashion industry is responsible for around 10 per cent of global carbon production and 20 per cent of industrial water pollution, simply because of the way clothes are manufactured and the sheer scale of that manufacturing. Fast fashion is just that: produced at speed, worn occasionally and quickly thrown out; the ‘take-make-dispose’ model. It ends up in landfill or incinerated – 300,000 tonnes of it a year, says Keep Britain Tidy.

The Clothing Giveaway is good for the world, good for your wallet and good for your wardrobe. So do some good, and join us on Saturday.

There’s a free café too.
