Clothing Swap 27th April, Hopper St, WGTN
This Clothing Swap has been planned to take place at the end of Fashion Revolution Week, when we can all pause and think about where our clothes came from and where they are going. The Swap’s tagline says it all: 'Swap don’t Shop’!
The Hopper Hub Clothing Swap is run by volunteers. I've been to the previous Swaps held at the Hub and along with most women and men there, I've come away with some cool clothes. Plus it was fun to see some of my stuff go to a good home!
You can see on the poster there is an interesting guest speaker from The Formary, and a yummy homemade afternoon tea on offer. There is also at least one mending and alteration workshop planned to run alongside the Swap. From prior swaps I can tell you there will be interesting new people to meet and chat with. Something for everyone!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

How to block interference from an irrelevant poster?
Can anyone give advice on how to do this? I have already reported the interference to the neighbourly team.
