Phuket Swapshop

Phuket SWAPSHOP is a sustainable charity event rebranded in July 2020 by Sarha Victoria Antonia Robinson and Yoana Vastrée Estévez. Working as a member of the Andaman Natural Resources and Conservation Foundation (ANRCF), the aim of the foundation is to support local charities, communities and sustainability. Through each SWAPSHOP event they offer the local community to-SWAP ‘pre-loved treasures’ freely, rather than buying new things. Every product bought has a negative effect on the planet. Phuket SWAPSHOP offers a place to discover new treasures to decrease carbon footprints and impact on the environment by reducing the amount of goods purchased. The events are donation-based only- SUPPORT local charities through donation collections and games such as raffles and quizzes. Locals attending a SWAPSHOP event will have the possibility to donate directly to the charity that is being funded. Phuket SWAPSHOP has raised money forthe LIFE & HOME Foundation and Orphanage, the Phuket Sunshine Village Orphanage and Foster care and for the BanYa Literacy Centre for underprivileged children- COMMUNITY LOVE by holding SWAPSHOP events in different venues (mainly restaurants) which will attract a large crowd of SWAP fans who will contribute to the operating restaurant and bar - this support is much needed due to the current COVID-19 crisis which has been devastating to all hospitality-related businesses on the island.
