CLOTHES SWAP
- The Clothing Swap Shop is now officially open in Granton Parish Church hall. There are three rails of clothing – one for women’s clothing, one for men’s and one for children’s with baby clothes on a table. The swap shop will be open all the time but will be staffed at the following times: Wednesdays 3-4.30pm, Thursdays 4.30-6pm, Fridays 12-1pm
RESCUE BREAD
- Additionally on Fridays we have bread and other goodies from local bakeries available.
ALL FREE OF CHARGE!
- This project is about reducing waste - so there is no charge for any of our services. You don't even need to swap clothes - if you see something you like, just weigh it and take it!
We'd love to hear from you
