If you are looking for women’s designer clothes, clothes for your kids, or clothes you can repurpose and recycle -come to the ECO Action Hub on Saturday 26th from 11:00 to 14:00.

We’re running our inaugural kilo clothes sale and we have a LOT of great pre-loved clothing to offer you! It’s been pre-sorted and steam-ironed, and is all hanging up ready waiting for you!

How it works: Come to the Hub and start choosing clothes. Once you’ve picked your goods, queue at our checkout table where we will weigh your items and calculate your price (and any donations!)

The ECO Action Hub is an impressive place to help everyone learn more about climate change, eco action and what they can do – where we host events throughout the year such as Repair Café, Seed Swaps and now a Kilo Sale!

ECO Action Families Fun Day – This Saturday!

Posted on by

Come to the ECO Action Hub for one hour of workshops from 1100 to 1200 Saturday 15th July 2023. Get your family all involved in understanding how you all can be more eco-aware and climate friendly in what you eat and how you live as a family every day.

Why come?

  • Join in our kid-friendly workshops on ‘grow your own’, and on bio-diversity in the garden.
  • Discuss with families there what works best and what you can each do to make a difference.
  • With activities for you all to create and take-home meaningful mementos to make a difference now: grow your own beans or cress, or origami animals of species at risk.

What will the workshops cover?

  1. Activity one – eat local to save carbon and packaging: understand as a family the significant contribution that transport and packaging make to ‘food carbon’ and what can you all do?
  2. Activity two – eat in season to save carbon: hear about the carbon reduction benefits from eating food in season where possible, and what can families do together to help?
  3. Activity three – reduce local biodiversity loss: see how much biodiversity loss has already occurred in the UK and how we can help to begin to reverse the trend.

What else do I need to know?

  • Please book your ‘free ticket’ for this event on Eventbrite on this link: Eventbrite Link
  • Workshops will start at 11:00 but please come before and look around the Hub from 10:00
  • We also have our Kids’ Clothes Swap here in the Hub that day – check it out and swap!

Kids’ Clothes Swap – This Saturday!

Posted on by

Don’t forget: Kids’ Clothes Swap in collaboration with animal army on Saturday 15th July. Shop other kids’ wardrobes and help reduce clothing waste – Save money and the planet!

Help reduce clothing waste, refresh your kid's wardrobes!

Kids grow quickly and keeping them in clothes that fit can be a financial challenge.

Swapping means you can upgrade their wardrobes for just a few pounds. And EVERY TIME you swap any unwanted piece of clothing you extend its lifecycle and reduce its carbon footprint!

Come to our ECO Action Hub Kids’ Clothes Swap in collaboration with animal army on Saturday 15th July. Help reduce clothing waste, and get “new” clothes for your kids!

animal army working with ECO Action Hub for Clothes Swap 20th May 2023 is donating a collection of starter stock to help get the Swap going: Follow animal army on Facebook and Instagram to see their collection.

And remember:

  • You’re not swapping but ‘upgrading’ clothes from ones kids don’t wear to ones they will!
  • Our starter stock contains great brands, vintage pieces and new clothes with labels on.
  • All clothes are steam cleaned & hung on rails or folded on tables, so it’s easy to shop!

We think you’ll find this a great experience and great value for money!

More details (you’ll want to read these) See Kids’ Clothes Swap 15th July in events here.
