Thrifty Threads' 2nd hand clothing shop combatting Fast Fashion Thrifty Threads' 2nd hand clothing shop combatting Fast Fashion

A group of young people from Donegal Youth Service decided that they wanted to raise awareness and challenge the fast fashion industry which negatively impacts the planet contributing significantly to CO₂ emissions. They decided to do this through contacting friends for old clothes, creating and promoting pop-up thrift shops which they entitled 'Thrifty Threads'. They proceeded to host thrift shops at Donegal Youth Service's annual youth festival, Party in the Park and at our Loft headquarters for their peers. There was a good response/level of interest from young people to this activity.
