Swap’n’Shop Your Unwanted Gifts for Action for Children
Unwanted Gifts, we all get them, do something good with them.
This January, we're encouraging you to put your unwanted gifts to good use and reduce growing landfill after Christmas by supporting Action for Children and selling on your products.
With average family wasting 30 per cent more at Christmas, why not reduce your waste this year and support a good cause? This January, we're working with Action for Children to encourage you to sell your unwanted gifts on Preloved and donate the proceeds to Action for Children.
The money you raise can help to make a real difference in the lives of children up and down the country.
Why get Swap’n’Shopping?
The money you raise goes to a great charity, helping to make a real difference to children up and down the UK. Plus, it’s a great way to make this Christmas more sustainable by reducing waste going to landfill.
What to sell?
Anything and everything! As long as it’s in good condition, you can add it to your sale. Books and clothes are always popular, as are old toys and homeware.
How to get selling
