WOMEN have a chance to swap their clothes at a fundraising event.

Hannah Brown, 22 and Donna Wheeler, 27, are organising a Clothes Swap on Sunday.

It is part of a fundraising bid for a 23-mile trek they will be attempting in September in aid of Age UK and Dementia UK. Hannah said: “It always sounds like a fun idea.

“People can leave with a new outfit, which is exciting.”

The friends, who work at a Colchester publishing company, will run the event at the Motion Dance and Fitness Centre, in the Cowdray Centre, off Cowdray Avenue, Colchester, from noon until 2pm.

Visitors should bring between two and ten items of clothing to swap, which must all be washed, ironed and on hangers.

For each item dropped off, people will get a token which they can swap for another item. Entry is £5 and extra tokens can be bought for £1.

There will also be refreshments and a raffle.
