Kate Hattaway and Bex Holland are the mother and daughter team behind the hugely successful Clothes
Swap that last year raised $15,000 for the Mental Health Foundation. This year, the fundraising duo are bringing it back, raising funds for the team at Parent Aid North West.
Parent Aid North West is a not for profit organisation that provides free practical home help to families with babies and children under 5 years old within the North West Rodney region. Their focus is supporting parents that are experiencing postnatal depression, anxiety, overwhelm and stress, rural isolation, sleep deprivation, general hardship, accident, illness, multiple birth, recovering from caesarean section or needing postnatal support following childbirth.
“Put Saturday 29 August in your diaries, and shout it from the rooftops,” says Kate. The event will again be held at the Coatesville Settlers Hall, from 10am–4pm, and is going to be slightly simplified this year. Just swapping, shopping, coffee and crepes. This means, no Cinderella Corner, no $5 corner and more importantly, more room to move around. Everything donated will go into the swap.
So how does the swap work? Bex explains: “It’s so easy! You sort out your wardrobe, drop off your clothes on 7, 8 or 9 August, pay your $20 donation, and receive your wristband. Then come along on the event day and you can take away with you the same amount of items which you donated. Any extra items you would like to take are just $5 each.
“From 1pm onwards, we invite shoppers to the swap as well. You pay $20 on the door, and then each item is just $5 on top of that. An absolute bargain! The final hour will be an incredible sale – everything just $1 each."
Bex says, "the famous Ultimate Raffle will be back again, with a prize so tantalising, you won’t want to miss it!"
Now only six weeks away, Bex encourages everyone to start sorting those fabulous wardrobes, and get ready for the Shopping Event of the Year!
