About this event

This event

You'll be able to drop off clothes from 11 am, but we won't allow anyone in to swap from 12 pm to ensure everything is set up.

The other services such as the cafe will be open as normal during the event.

You can use the toilets to try things on (there's a mirror in there).

We try to recycle clothes where possible, but we would really appreciate it if you could check that donations are clean and in good condition (i.e. not bobbled, ripped or stained).

If you don't have clothes to swap but you want to take clothes, that's fine! We'll be taking financial donations to Trans Support Hub CIC, which helps us keep these events free for those who can't afford an entry fee.

We've already got donations from our previous events, so whether you arrive at the start or the end of the event we'll have items to choose from. You are also welcome to keep coming back to find new things throughout the event.

Where possible, we try to provide more specialist trans-related items, such as binders and chest enhancers. If you've got any, we'd really appreciate it as they don't stay with us for long.

Why Clothes Swaps?

Clothes swaps are a great way to explore your style, help others and save clothes from going to landfill.

Why have we started charging for tickets?

The clothes you bring are to swap with other people and you can take clothes in exchange. Although we run a Vinted store, it is not enough to fund the running of our events.

About us

We've been putting these events on since July 2022, and it's been heartwarming to see so many people exploring their style, their gender, or just revamping their wardrobe for something fresh.

We'll be taking pictures to promote the work we do and future events. Please let us know on arrival if you don't want us to take your picture.

Can't wait to see you all there!

Organised by

Trans Support Hub CIC organises LGBTQ+ clothes swaps. The clothes swaps aim to provide clothes and accessories including trans-specific items such as binders. They have regularly had stylists, make-up artists, hairdressers and bra fitters to support people who want to explore a new look and/or save money. More recently, they’ve also been showing other LGBTQ+ Charities and CICs (and similar organisations) how to start their own clothes swap events. Allies are welcome at these events. We ask that everyone is respectful so you'll be asked to leave if you're not.

In addition, we run LGBTQ+ Business Networking Groups, running monthly in Leeds for LGBTQ+ people only.

Just to note, when we say 'Trans' we mean anyone who isn't cis including gender non-conforming, gender variant and non-binary people.
