Swish’s first market a huge success - bringing creativity and sustainability to Northamptonshire families
Swish, the innovative preloved children’s boutique and community hub, has celebrated a successful launch market, raising enough funds to host 20 local families at Bridgewater Forest School this April for free arts, crafts, and outdoor sessions with Puddles & Pine.
Swish is on a mission to keep children’s clothing out of landfill while fostering creativity and connection in the local community. At its first collaborative market with Wilf & Friends, families donated and shopped preloved clothing, participated in creative activities, and supported a circular, sustainable approach to children’s fashion.
Founder Abigail said, “We are thrilled with the response from the Northampton community. Our first market shows that sustainability and creativity can go hand-in-hand, and we’re proud to be able to offer these experiences to families for free.”
The initiative with Puddles & Pine at Bridgewater Forest School will give children access to engaging, hands-on creative and outdoor activities, reinforcing Swish’s commitment to making arts, crafts, and sports accessible to all.
Swish continues to encourage local families to donate outgrown clothing, shop preloved, and join a community dedicated to sustainability, creativity, and fun through Swish Donation Points and drop-offs at HQ in Brixworth.
