Olive Branch Children’s Clothing Exchange

The last Olive Branch for this year will be  Thursday, December 5th.  
We will then be taking our Christmas break,  reopening on Thursday January 9th 2025.
 
Olive Branch is open virtually every Thursday morning during term time, from 9.30am - 11.30am.
Olive Branch operates like a swap shop where you can donate items to earn points which you can spend on items within our stock. Don't worry if you do not have any items to donate, you get 40 points for free on your first visit.
Come and browse the rails and stop for a cup of tea and a chat!

If you have any other questions, please contact Abbie Edwards, Pioneer Community Worker:

Olive Branch Frequently Asked Questions

Are there different clothes available from each week?
The Olive Branch stock changes depending on who comes in to donate. Sometimes we have lots of donations of baby clothes, sometimes school uniform. Every week is different! We do keep seasonal items in storage, so you can look forward to items such as Christmas jumpers in December or summer dresses in June.
 
Do I need to pay?
Olive Branch does not ask for any money. We use a point system, not pounds! Tea, coffee and refreshments are also free.
 
Can I bring my children to Olive Branch?
As long as they are not off of school sick, then ‘Yes’ you are welcome to bring your children to Olive Branch. They are your responsibility.
 
Do I have to donate or take items home?
You are welcome to come along and browse with no pressure to donate or take away items. Olive Branch is not just a clothing exchange, but a chance to socialise and be part of a community.
 
Can I donate electrical items?
Sadly, we cannot accept electrical items, because we cannot prove that they are safe or PAT tested.
 
Can I volunteer at Olive Branch?
We are always looking for more volunteers at Olive Branch, but would also like to get to know you first, some come along for a few weeks as a guest, and we can explain the process from there!
