Common Thread Sheffield

Our mission: to promote ethical fashion, creativity and co-operation in our community. PS.

We are a voluntary community project seeking to promote ethical fashion and low impact living, and we are a welcoming and creative bunch. We *usually* run a huge monthly clothes exchange at Union St, and smaller pop up clothes swap, repair and craft workshops at various venues across Sheffield.

*Currently we are running a monthly clothes swap delivery service instead, but due to limited stock levels and volunteer capacity, bookings are limited*

We have a clothes drop off point at Union St, there will be posts prior to the swaps when this is open. As well as donations of clothes, we really value your time, skills and enthusiasm! Get in touch if you have questions, would like to volunteer and/or partner with us. AC-after covid- do get in touch if you would like to book a Common Thread pop up swapshop/workshop. Non-clothes donations which are super useful to us include:
clothes rails
clothes hangers, especially for skirts/trousers
needles, threads, buttons, red ribbon
marker pens, sticky labels, tape
strong bags
