Monthly Mayo Swap Shop kicks off in February

THE Mary Robinson Centre in Ballina has announced that its monthly Swap Shop will run every second Saturday of every month from February to June.

The Swap Shop is exclusively clothes, books, toys and plants and the Saturday dates are: February 8, March 8, April 12, May 10 and June 14 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Mary Robinson Centre - Climate Hub (entrance via Moy Lane).

How does it work?

* Bring five items maximum per person (any clean, gently use, and in good condition items only)

* Swap away!

Once you arrive, you'll receive tokens for each item you bring. Use these tokens to 'purchase' new items from the selection available. There is something for everyone.

Some toy guidelines apply. The following cannot be accepted: electrical items, toys with cord over 30cm, car seats, baby slings, or other safety equipment, and food items such as baby formula.
