Clothing Swap
Clothing swaps are a place where communities can come together and celebrate the full diversity and opportunities of self expression through fashion. They are also an opportunity to socialise and explore gender expression in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment.
Between March 2021-23, we have delivered 23 Trans and Gender Diverse Clothing Swap events to LGBTIQA+ communities across Victoria, including Bendigo, Maryborough, Shepparton, Werribee, Kyneton, Wangaratta, Echuca and more, providing more than 2000 free items of clothing and accessories while connecting thousands of people with a safe space to explore fashion and socialise without gendered expectation or judgment.
The clothing swap events are free to enter and all items are free to take, with no need for participants to bring any items to swap if they do not wish to. This is due to the ongoing support by the general public who continue to donate items of clothing, shoes and accessories (some of which are brand new). Clothing swap volunteers are engaged to provide support and create a positive shopping experience for all attendees.
