Samya - AXC Volunteer

Samya has been volunteering at ApparelXchange since 2023:

"I was excited to get involved as I am passionate about textile sustainability
and the need to champion circular approaches to fashion. Since becoming a volunteer, I’ve helped out across both the central warehouse and Southside
shop. -- One of my favourite parts of volunteering has also been helping out at events. I particularly enjoyed the teen clothes swap – it was really fun to see the enthusiasm and creativity they brought to second-hand style!"

Alison - AXC Volunteer

Long term volunteer Alison, mother of five, told us why she volunteers her time for Apparlxchange:

"It gets me out of the house, makes me feel useful. I get a buzz out of it. It has opened my eyes to the second hand clothing market.

In the city of Glasgow where there is so much deprivation, there is also so much waste and 'throw away' society. Just look at how much amazing clothing we have here".

Stephen - AXC Volunteer

Stephen has been volunteering with Apparel for some time now, on Fridays, at
our warehouse hub. Stephen said:

"There's a fantastic atmosphere at the warehouse. I love it so far.  All the volunteers and managers (hey, that includes you!) are terrific, ApparelXchange helps people back to
work.

Apparel Xchange is so full of charmers I'd rather be there than in the Bahamas.* As it's minus
sulks and tiffs or dramas Volunteering there's the cat's pajamas."

Volunteer Testimonials

  • Volunteering was enjoyable and it was good to spend time
    with colleagues in a non-work related capacity. Our task was simple and clear which made the experience for us much easier. We were made to feel welcome by ApparelXChange staff.
