Change yesterday’s favourites for a new fashion fix at our first kids’ clothes swap.

We all know kids tend to grow out of perfectly good clothes before they wear out, and it’s sometimes hard to know what to do with those much-loved outfits. Take part in our kids' clothes swap to upgrade your kids’ clothes to larger sizes and give your child's wardrobe a fresh new look, while making a positive impact on the environment. See what you can swap

Drop your gently loved children’s clothes to Croydon Civic Centre, then head over to the Croydon Library to enjoy a range of activities while you wait. Maroondah Toy Library will have fun, engaging activities for your little ones and showcase ways to keep young minds entertained without having to buy new toys. Join A Fitting Connection for a block printing workshop where your child can unleash their creativity and learn new skills to upcycle textiles. Or head over to the playground at Town Park to burn off some energy before the swap begins!
