About the event

Come along and swap some clothes. Whether you have clothes you no longer wear or are looking for a change of style, we have lots to choose from.

At this event there will also be a chance to talk to YourSU staff members, including the LGBTQ+ Community Engagement Lead, Alex, about how your experiences as an LGBTQ+ student have been at Coventry. We would love to hear both positive and negative experiences. We want to take these experiences and use them to help us make the university experience at Coventry better for LGBTQ+ students.

There will also be a chance to learn more about the Gender Expression Fund and ask any questions you may have about it. We'll also have some crafts and music playing.

Note: you do not need clothes to swap to take part but we encourage you to swap clothes to ensure lots of people can take part in the event.
