A grant to deliver a clothing swap event for Port Phillip young people!

Port Phillip Council will invest the $2,000 Youth Fest grant from the Victorian Government to deliver a Clothing Swap event at St Kilda Town Hall on Saturday 27 September 2025. The event will provide a platform for young people to engage in meaningful conversations about overconsumption, promote a circular economy, and encourage the reduction of textile waste. It will also feature live performances by emerging young musicians, supporting the growth of live music in Port Phillip. This collaborative event brings together the Youth Events Crew, who will curate the performances, and the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), who will lead the delivery of the Clothing Swap. Together, they’ll create opportunities for young people to showcase their talents and gain valuable hands-on experience in event planning.
