2025 Clothes Swap

The Great Berowra Clothes Swap

10am -12pm

Pre-loved Magic

The GREAT BEROWRA CLOTHES SWAP is back again on Saturday 7th June 10am-12pm at Warrina St Oval Hall, Berowra Heights.
With the cost of living and the amount of clothes going to landfill increasing exponentially, we thought it was time to do something about both issues. So have a look through your cupboards and find your best clothes to swap for a brand new outfit.

BRING UNLIMITED ITEMS OF CLOTHES TO SWAP
* Clothes can be collected up to a week before
* Donations welcome
* Men and Women’s clothes only. No children’s clothes for this one – we will organise a separate clothes swap for kids later this year.

Please make sure the items to swap are clean and in wearable condition. All items will be inspected beforehand.

  • No underwear
  • No swimmers
  • No socks etc

When: Saturday 7th June 10am-12pm
Where: Warrina Street Oval Clubhouse

CLOTHES DROP OFF TIMES:

  • Saturday 31st May and Sunday 1st June 10am-2pm at 34 Lonsdale Avenue, Berowra Heights or 29 Low St, Mt Kuring-gai
  • or Saturday 7th June at 9am Warrina St Oval hall.

Solar Made Simple May 2025

Solar Made Simple May 2025

Monday 5th May

7:30pm Upstairs Warrina St Clubhouse

There’s never been a better time to get rooftop solar!
With electricity prices rising, now is a great time to go solar. But making the switch can seem daunting amid all the hype. The Berowra Sustainability Co-Op’s survey of local residents showed that the biggest obstacle is finding accurate, reliable and honest help in sifting through the maze of information and advertising. Our survey showed that most people want to get solar, but simply “haven’t got around to it.”
If this sounds like you, then please join us for a Solar Made Simple presentation hosted by the Berowra Sustainability Co-Op in conjunction with Zero Emissions Solutions (ZES), a not-for-profit community association helping local homes, businesses and schools to save money, reduce emissions and reach net zero. Stephen Pritchard will also be available for those interested in batteries.
This free, informative and practical session covers solar panels and batteries and includes time for Q&A about your specific circumstances.
When: Monday 5th May, 7.30pm-8.30pm, Warrina St Clubhouse, 65 Hillcrest Rd Berowra.
Speakers: Ruth Barcan and Mark Higgs from Zero Emissions Solutions/BSC, Stephen Pritchard (Distributed Energy Specialist)
The session is free, but registration is essential.
