You are invited to attend the first “Sustainable Fashion Network” inaugural event from ApparelXchange

You are invited to attend the first “Sustainable Fashion Network” inaugural event on Friday 28th of February, from1600-1900 at ApparelXchange CIC First floor, St. Enoch Shopping Centre, Glasgow

The purpose of this event is to gather designers, makers, crafters, repairers, retailers and reusers in the sustainable fashion sector from Glasgow and across Scotland.

This is a new network and we need you to be part of working out how we can collaborate together. Do we have shared challenges like marketing, reaching customers, retailing and using creative spaces? Would you be interested in finding a solution together?

Fashion Revolution and Mairi Lowe will be supporting this event with the latest campaigns and insightful research which supports the need for us to work closer together. Plus we need to think COP26 and what we can do together.
Its Friday, so its all about networking and making new connections. There will be drinks and nibbles, so tickets (£5 each) will cover those costs.

Cadder Community Centre Office and Desk Spaces for Social Enterprises

Cadder Community Centre provides a modern, state of the art community facility serving Cadder and north west Glasgow.

The Centre provides a base for social gathering and the provision of services, activities and events open to all ages and backgrounds of residents living in Cadder and the wider north west area of the city. The facility provides a range of rooms available to hire https://www.caddercommunitycentre.co.uk/facilities/ and offer a discounted rate for community organisations and those looking for longer term lets or full day use of rooms.

The Centre is looking to provide a Social Enterprise Room offering affordable desk and office space plus storage which can be made available on a permanent, short term, full or shared space arrangement. This will target social enterprises (including CICs, charities, voluntary groups) rather than commercial organisations to offer community benefit.
