Great Big Green Week

This event is taking place during Great Big Green Week – the UK’s biggest ever celebration of action to tackle climate change and protect nature. Great Big Green Week will show that people across the UK are working together for good to help create a better tomorrow - and now we urgently need politicians to step up and play their part.

How will the swap work?

Drop off your unwanted toys, games, puzzles, books and children's clothes before the event (we’ll share drop-off locations and times nearer the date)
Donate what you can, take what you need
On the night, there will be a browsing period before you can take anything to give everyone the chance to arrive
Have a drink and catch up with your friends (BYO drinks - we will provide nibbles)

A few rules

Items must be clean, in good condition, in working order and have all their parts (we’ll turn away anything that doesn’t meet these standards).
If battery powered - make sure they’re charged/include batteries so people can check they work
No soft toys - sorry!
Bring what you can (max 10 items), take what you need, don't take the piss ;)
