Offer: 4 h Babysitting — evenings, Chesterfield
DBS-checked, paediatric first aid certified. Available most weekday evenings 6-10pm. Happy to do bedtime routine, tidy up after, etc.
Offer: 1 pcs Gravel bike — 54cm, perfect for canal-path commutes
Bought it for bikepacking, used it twice for that, the rest of the time it's been my commute. Mechanical disc brakes, 11-speed, tubeless-ready tyres with plenty of tread left.
Offer: 1 pcs Wool camping blanket — heavy, warm, lovely
Bought for a trip to Scotland we never took. Pure new wool, royal Stewart-ish tartan. Bit too heavy for backpacking but brilliant for car-camping or picnics.
Offer: 1 h Lawn mowing — Chesterfield area, weekends
I do my own three gardens and have a decent petrol mower. Happy to do small front/back lawns on Saturday mornings within 15 mins drive of S40. Bring-your-own bin bags.
Offer: 1 kg Speciality coffee beans — 1kg, light roast
I bulk-buy from a local roaster and have far too much. Single origin Ethiopian, light roast, ground or whole bean (let me know). Best within 6 weeks.
Offer: 1 pcs Floral maxi dress — size 10, perfect for summer
Wore this to a friend's wedding in Greece three summers ago. Has barely left the wardrobe since. Reformation, viscose, lined, sustainable production.
Offer: 1 pcs Apple AirPods Pro (2nd gen) — bought last summer
Genuinely brilliant but I keep losing them in the house and a wired pair will save my sanity. Includes original case and box, all tips. Battery still strong.

The world's first swap marketplace — where economy is supply and demand, not stocks, shares, or fees. Where your old guitar becomes someone's first lesson. Where your grown-out clothes become someone else's favourite outfit. Where your skills turn into something you actually need.
Every item has value to someone. Every swap keeps something out of a landfill. And every person on this platform has something worth giving — and something worth finding.
"Don't bin it. Swap it."
Take a few photos, describe what you've got, and tell us what you'd like in return. Your listing goes live and Swapster starts finding you matches straight away.
When someone wants what you have — and someone has what you want — you get a match. Review it and accept or move on. Our chain swapping system means even tricky matches can find a way.
Arrange a collection, hand over your item, pick up what you wanted. Rate the swap and you're finished. Your thing has a new home. Someone else's thing has found you.

We all know fast fashion is "bad." But how bad? Like, really? Because when you're standing in Primark holding a £4 top, it's easy to shrug and think it's just a shirt. It's not just a shirt. What you're holding is the end product of one of the most environmentally...

You've read about fast fashion. You know about the 92 million tonnes of textile waste. You've quietly judged your own wardrobe — the tags still on, the things worn once, the stuff shoved to the back and forgotten about. You get it. The system is broken and buying new isn't...

There's a moment most of us know well. You open the fridge, find a sad bag of wilting spinach you bought with the best of intentions, and quietly drop it in the bin. No big deal, right? Except we do it again next week. And the week after. And multiplied...

Real people. Real swaps. Real difference.
