Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Big Swap at Hub on the Green
The Hub on the Green is holding its biggest-ever swap event, helping local families to cut costs and encourage children to read.
The Big Swap will be on Saturday August 8th from 11am to 2pm. Choose from a huge range of
school uniforms and children’s books, all to take home – and all free of charge!
“We’re encouraging people to bring outgrown or unwanted school uniforms and no-longer read
books to swap, but that’s not a condition of taking part. No-one will go away empty-handed,”
said John Dolan, Chair of Trustees.
“The generosity of people in Bournville means you can choose from a wide range of uniforms in
great condition, all ready to take home, helping families save money in time for the new school
term.
“The Big Swap is also great for the environment, giving new life to clothes and books that might
otherwise end up in landfill.”
Activities on the day will include storytelling by local writer Bea Jay Evans, author of the Mia
books, and ‘poems on demand’ written by Robbie Lea-Trengrouse, who runs the Hub’s monthly
Poetry Group.
