Give and Take Day Toolkit

A ‘Give and Take’ day is exactly what it says on the tin – an event where people bring along articles they no longer need, and swap for something else.

Following on from the success of ‘Give and Take’ days held accross the county, where around 1,000 people have swapped items, people are now being invited to organise their own event – with the help of a new online toolkit.
