Lincoln Clothes Swap

Lincoln Envirotown Coordinator from Lincoln Envirotown

Have fun swapping your pre-loved clothes for other quality clothes donated. Free donated clothes will be on display, so bring your friends and make an evening of it.

Women’s, Men’s, and Kids' clothing and accessories accepted, please no undergarments. If you don’t have clothes to drop off, you can still come along on the evening and help yourself to free clothes.

VIP tickets are given to those who drop off their clothes before the event. This ticket will allow you and a friend early entry to the event.

Drop-off can be arranged in Lincoln. We have several drop-off locations and times, listed below. We can be identified by our blue Lincoln Envirotown t-shirt.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
