Every clothes swap we nominate a charity to raise funds for and this time, on request, we are raising funds for Sheffield Women's Aid. This small charity was established in 1974.

It has been providing emergency accommodation for women and children who have suffered and survived domestic and sexual abuse and violence for over 45 years. They accommodate women aged 16+ and their children (of any age or gender) if they depend on their Mum for their personal well-being and can accommodate larger families.

They currently have two refuges in Sheffield. One refuge has 16 self-contained flats and the other has 20. Both stand in secluded gardens with areas to relax and opportunities for children to play.

If you have enjoyed a lovely evening at clothes swap and gone away with some lovely new clobber, do consider making a donation to Sheffield Women's Aid to help us reach our target of £250.
