We’re a local group of parents, carers, families and community members organising on unceded Dharug and Gundungurra lands for a safer climate and stronger, more connected communities. 

Our work is grounded in reuse, community care and mutual aid. Through regular clothes and toy swaps, repair, remake and upcycling activities, sharing and other community events, we create practical ways for people to support one another, reduce waste, ease cost-of-living pressures and keep useful things circulating locally.

We’re also trying to step away from overconsumption and extractive ways of living, and to rework how we meet our needs. We want our children to grow up seeing sharing, swapping, repairing, remaking, reusing and caring for what we already have as normal parts of everyday life, and to learn ways of living that care for people and planet.

Our swaps and other activities are also about building community resilience. As the climate crisis intensifies, communities need to be connected, resourceful and able to care for one another like never before. Resilience is not only about preparing homes and infrastructure. It is also about knowing our neighbours, sharing what we have, building trust, learning practical skills and strengthening our collective capacity to respond.

Alongside this work, we campaign for stronger climate action, engage with decision makers and create accessible, family-friendly ways for people to participate in change.

Come and be part of it. Join us at a swap, volunteer, share resources, learn a new skill, join a local action or simply come along and connect with others in the community.
