Most Christmas jumpers are made with synthetic fibres (like acrylic or polyester), and many are worn only once before being forgotten contributing to plastic pollution and fast fashion waste.

The Christmas Jumper Swap is a fun and festive way to cut waste and save resources during the holiday season. People donate jumpers they’ve outgrown or no longer wear, and pick a “new” one in return — all for free!

Swapping instead of buying new helps reduce the environmental impact of clothing production, lowers carbon emissions, and gives garments a longer life.

Our Christmas Jumper Swap Toolkit includes everything you need to run your own event, it’s perfect for schools, workplaces or community groups! Read our case study to find out how running a Christmas Jumper Swap went for Menston, West Yorkshire.

We’d love to see your festive reusables in action! Tag us on social media and share your swap stories.
