PASS IT ON WEEK
Pass it on Week
Pass it on Week 2017 is now over (11-19 March 2017). Thanks to everyone who got involved. We had over 130 events registered on our website and over 580 #TheBigElectricAmnesty boxes requested - a great result. But 'passing things on' isn't just for Pass it on Week, so please continue to swap, donate, buy second hand, rent, repair and keep making things last! And keep an eye out for the date for Pass it on Week 2018.

Vines
We've created some Vines (6 second videos) highlighting some of the things you can do during Pass it on Week (or anytime really). Please use them to inspire you, or share them on your social media to inspire others. They include how to hold a book swap, how to hold a swish (clothes swap), how to do a wardrobe audit (one of the recommendations from Love Your Clothes) and how to donate to the Re-use Line.
