The Big Clothes Swap
Our first clothes swap was amazing! VoW will be supporting Woodlands Village Hall with their clothes swap on Saturday 21 September 2024. Do come along.
​
Watch this space for details of any local collection points to save you dropping off at Woodlands.
​
Adults and children's clothes can be swapped. Shoes taken but they must be as new.
​
No points? No problem. Anyone can come along from 2pm to 2.30pm and take what you want, for free.
​
The provisional date of the next clothes swap for Verwood is 26 April 2025.
