Coast Swap, supported by Global Skills, is part of Council’s Launch Lab program that focuses on employment readiness and life skills for Central Coast youth. Coast Swap is designed and powered by local youth volunteers and aims to build youth skills, confidence and community pride.
How it works:
Participants can bring five to ten clean, good-quality, undamaged garments and accessories they would be happy to give to a friend.
Items are exchanged without money, you swap the clothes you bring for new-to-you pieces from the collective pool. The goal is to refresh your wardrobe sustainably, reduce textile waste, and support a circular fashion economy.
Before the swap
• Check your items: Ensure all clothes, shoes, and accessories are clean, free of stains, rips, or missing buttons, and in excellent, ‘giftable’ condition.
• Avoid specific items: Underwear, used pyjamas, socks or overused workout gear.
• Consider quality and style: You can bring retro, vintage, handmade, or items from all brands, but focus on items that are versatile and generally desirable.
How the swap works:
1. Drop off items: Bring your items to the event for check-in at 11am. Arriving on time will ensure access to most items.
2. Start swapping: You can begin selecting new-to-you items from the collective offering, using your brought items as "currency" which you will receive tokens for.
