You could describe it as a kind of cashless bring-and-buy sale. Participants do not need to bring anything in order to take away goods, and vice versa. Our \u2018Swap Shop\u2019 recognises that things no longer wanted by someone, might be another person\u2019s treasure. By reusing things we cut down on the amount of waste that goes into landfill and reduce the amount of resources that we use in manufacturing of new products. And it saves you money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wellingborough Eco Group originally set up Wellingborough Swap Shop last year as a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/wellingboroughswapshop\">Facebook group<\/a>&nbsp;(join in!) so items can be swapped or shared with others; and in February we started hosting Saturday Swap Shops at the Victoria Centre on Zoom with the One Wellingborough Plus project. In September we started hosting in person Wellingborough Swap Shops at Animals in Need\u2019s Open day. This proved to be very popular, so we decided to have weekly Swap Shops in Glamis Hall\u2019s Community Room during our Tuesday Tidy Ups with Wellie Wombles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210912_131317s.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"275\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210912_131317s.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/?attachment_id=275\" class=\"wp-image-275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210912_131317s.jpg 682w, https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210912_131317s-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210921_162058s.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"276\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210921_162058s.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/?attachment_id=276\" class=\"wp-image-276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210921_162058s.jpg 682w, https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20210921_162058s-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211005_162301s.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"277\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211005_162301s.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/?attachment_id=277\" class=\"wp-image-277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211005_162301s.jpg 682w, https:\/\/wellingborough.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211005_162301s-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Tuesday\u2019s Swap Shop promises to be bigger and better than ever!
