Chiswick Gets Swish

Swishing is a great way of saving money, saving the planet and raising funds for a good cause

Got some clothes in your wardrobe that you never wear but are just too good to throw away? Why not try 'Swishing' them instead and help raise funds for a good cause at the same time.

This Saturday, Genesis Research Trust is running a swishing party at St Michael's Church, W4.

SWISHING explained!

Please bring along at least one good quality, nearly new item of clothing or footwear (accessories or bags are also OK ) that might be lurking, unloved, in your wardrobe.

You will receive a ticket for each item you bring, which you will swap for an equal number of items. Any additional items you select will be charged at £1 each.

Each item should be something that you are proud to pass on to a good home where someone new will love it. Items must be of good quality and not dated or worn out.

If possible please bring your clothing on hangers – although bulging bags of designer goods are also more than welcome.

As this is a fund raiser any designer or new items will be hung on a ‘premium rail’ and will have an additional charge – up to £10.

Doors will open at 1.30pm, and you will have an hour or so to drop off clothes and enjoy a glass of wine.

You will have time before the Swish to browse the rails, but no items may be claimed before the Swish is officially opened.

Swishing is a great way of saving money, saving the planet and raising funds for a good cause.

Your entrance fee of £12 will include wine or soft drinks on your arrival. All profits will go to Genesis Research Trust.

Where is the Party? St Michaels Church, Elmwood Road, Chiswick.

When is the party ? Saturday 1 st September 2012 from 1.30pm
