The Clothing Exchange believes that looking good shouldn’t cost the earth.

Swapping is a clever and thrifty way to update your wardrobe without hitting the shops. It saves you pennies and the planet too!

Eligibility
To participate you must drop clothes off. For each item you drop off you will receive a token which can then be used to select another item. A maximum of eight items per person will be accepted.

Please note: the clothes drop off starts at 12.00pm and the clothes swap exchange starts at 1.00pm.

What we accept

We will only accept items that are:

• clean, folded or pressed
• good quality with a long potential lifespan
• free of faults or with minor faults that are easy to repair (for example, a missing button)

The best items to swap are good quality garments that you once loved but are no longer your favourites or perhaps no longer fit you perfectly. This way, you’re giving them a second life with someone new who will treasure them.

Whatever you swap, please make sure you are emotionally detached from the item, as once it has been swapped you cannot change your mind.

What we don't accept

We will not accept:

• anything pilled, smelly or too far from perfect
• undergarments
• swimwear
• tracksuits

Please note: we have quality screening processes at our events.

Any items left over after the event finishes are donated to a local charity.

Power 2 Pedal is a fun and welcoming program, delivered in a safe environment where kids and teens with autism will learn and develop their bike riding skills.

This program will also support people to build their skills and confidence to be able to include bike riding in their everyday life, for example riding to school.

When

Each Monday between 22 April and 27 May 2024 (six week program). 

Cost

$90 or participants can use NDIS plans to pay for the program.

Beginners (Level 1)

This level is designed for those who are new to bike riding or those who have been riding with training wheels. Focus areas will be balancing, pedalling, steering and braking.

If your child is a more advanced rider, register for the Level 2 (intermediate) program instead.

Support staff

We recommend all participants have someone with them at the program to support their development one-on-one.

Please note that support staff are not organised through this program. Should participant support be required, please organise this through a disability service provider (such as Leisure Networks). 

What to bring

Participants are encouraged to bring their own bike and helmet. If this is not possible and you require access to equipment or you are unsure what level would be appropriate for your child, please phone Tori on 0434 412 989 or email tori.honner@leisurenetworks.org.

Places are limited in this program and registration is required.

Power 2 Pedal is supported by VicHealth in partnership with Aus Cycling, Manningham Council, and the Park Orchards BMX club.

Cinderella, originally by Charles Perrault, is a favourite among children and adults alike. The Playhouse Pantomimes have taken this tale, adapted, and updated it, turning it into a non-stop comedic romp for all ages. The story features many iconic and instantly recognisable characters, such as Cinderella, Prince Charming and The Ugly Step Sisters.
