At The Big Swap, collaboration is at the core of what we do
Our partners bring unique skills and expertise that we truly value. We respect each partner as leaders in their field and together we create events and initiatives that promote sustainable fashion, culture change and environmental awareness impact.
We also celebrate the uniqueness of diverse communities, recognising and understanding the importance of differences. Through our collaborations, we not only grow as a team but also encourage personal development for everyone involved. Together, we’re building a future where ethical choices are for everyone and moments for our planet thrive.
why partners choose us
Anna Pashley — Charity Retail Association"The Big Swap was such a welcoming and fun experience. I was truly blown away by the amount of quality clothing donated to the White Rose charity shops as a result of the event — enough to fill up an entire shop. It’s a fantastic way to support charity retail."
Stina Keeling — Derby College Group"Our LVL 3 Diploma Fashion Business students gained invaluable, hands-on industry experience. By planning, marketing, and co-delivering an event, they developed key skills in project management and organisation, while championing sustainability. This project fostered a mindset of conscious fashion decision-making and giving students a real sense of achievement."
Helen Sharp — Nottingham Cathedral"The Big Swap helped us create a community event that brought a diverse range of new audiences to our site. We benefited massively from their extensive social media promotion, which raised our profile. Zoe and her team were a pleasure to work with, helping us activate our underused garden space."
Elaine Doherty — Art Reach"The Big Swap's ethos and social action standing made them standout collaborators for our festival. Their mini-swap and tote bag upcycling were hugely popular, successfully encouraging attendees to think of mending and circular fashion as their first choice. It was an incredibly engaging way to raise awareness."
Mia Cairns — Blend Family Ltd"Our partnership with The Big Swap means so much to us at Blend. Because sustainability doesn't have to be serious; it can be fun and social. There's something really rewarding about seeing people give clothes a second life and knowing we helped to make that happen. Zoe is brilliant to work with, and it's a pleasure to build these moments together."
Brenda Anthony — White Rose"We are thrilled to partner with The Big Swap. We have been truly impressed by the overwhelming support through donations and the wide-ranging awareness sparked among supporters of all ages. This partnership has proven to be a highly rewarding and impactful collaboration that reduces landfill waste."
