Swords Tidy Towns has recently wrapped up two successful themed clothes swap events in June and July, reflecting the community’s growing enthusiasm for sustainable living and waste reduction.
In June, the event was expanded to include a toy swap in collaboration with the Rediscovery Centre and Jiminy Eco-Toys, aligning with the Big Toy Swap initiative. This additional feature was a resounding success, attracting numerous parents and children eager to exchange toys. By the end of the day, it was estimated that at least 30 toys had found new homes, promoting the idea of reusing and recycling among the younger generation and their families.
July’s event saw the involvement of St. Finian’s GAA club, who were invited to participate and encourage their members to bring along any sports gear they no longer needed. This partnership not only broadened the scope of the swap but also fostered a sense of community spirit and support. The day was graced with fantastic weather, which added to the event’s vibrant atmosphere.
Contributing to the festivities was Two Birds Coffee, the neighbouring café celebrating its 3rd birthday. Their participation further enlivened the event, creating a lively and enjoyable environment for all attendees.
The success of these themed events has been a testament to the community’s support and enthusiasm. Swords Tidy Towns is already looking forward to hosting similar events in the future, continuing to promote sustainable living and community engagement.
Stay tuned for more updates and be ready to participate in the next swap event!
