Daisy here - it breaks my hurt to say but I can no longer run TCS and organise events. With the last few events bringing in few people and desperately trying to find a work/life balance, I've lost my mojo.
Is there anyone that would like to take it on? Full access to this group and moving it forward in whatever direction you feel you can give time too?
There is a beaut team of volunteers that may come along too. They are truly the best team any person running it could dream of having.

Are you up for the challenge?

🎉🤩 IT'S HERE! Our highly anticipated challenge page is live!

Reset your relationship with fashion by taking the 2023 Challenge! From June 1st to September 1st, join Remake's global community as we challenge ourselves to press pause on the purchase of new clothing, and instead reflect on how to address overconsumption and remake the fashion industry as a force for good!

By challenging yourself to buy 'no new clothes' - whether that's not buying anything at all, or prioritizing re-use and secondhand, you decide! - you will reduce your carbon footprint, build healthy psychological habits, limit the waste you send to landfill, and keep your hard-earned dollars from companies that don't provide their garment workers living wages or safe working conditions.

Are you in? Tag a friend to take the challenge with you!

Those of you who did come to our Taunton Clothes Swap event today Bridgwater & Taunton College will have noticed it was a LOT quieter than previous events have been.
This was a new collaboration with Climate Action Taunton
We would love your feedback.

Was it because the weather is better than it’s been in months and you simply decided to make the most of the sunshine? Totally understand if so.

Was it the location?

Was it the parking?

Was it the timing?

Was it the day?

We realise now there were a lot of other events going on in Taunton today which we hadn’t known about when we fixed the date.

Anyway, we want to make these events work for you, and the more people attend then the better they work.

Do you still want us to put on clothes swap events?

Please give us your feedback and thoughts.

Thank you.

Love and sunshine to all ❤️ 🌞
