SWAP SHOP is a space dedicated to unwanted materials that can be re-used, re-purposed or repaired. Using the SWAP SHOP can help you to save money and the environment. You can donate or take materials away for free during our opening hours.
SWAP SHOP is managed by our Technical team and runs during term time.
