Welcome to the Sherwood Exchange. We are a constituted group of unpaid volunteers passionate about reducing food waste, landfill waste. We also wish to help prevent poverty and wellbeing decline by running our food and wellbeing exchange every Saturday.
We first started out during lockdown in 2020 in an outdoor location when food was hard to source due to people panic buying. Our exchange was located in an outdoor location and consisted of four plastic garden chests where food could be donated or taken from.
Since 2023, we re-established at the Place Activity Centre in Sherwood and proudly reopened our community food exchange on April the 6th 2024. Since then, we continue to run the Sherwood Exchange every Saturday afternoon and we offer anybody the opportunity to visit us to donate unwanted food, clothing, toiletries and kids toys in exchange for fresh fruit and vegetables and store cupboard foods. We also have clothing, toiletries and toys and visitors can also visit to drop off unwanted clothing to ShareWear too.
Aside from our food exchange, we also host regular wellbeing activities at our Wellbeing Exchange which operates on weekly Saturdays from January until June, then from September to December every year. Sessions can range from Reiki to mindfulness to talks from local enthusiasts around wellbeing related subjects and a small donation to help us towards our running costs is always appreciated.
