If posting them, you could send them directly to our dealer. Please call us for the address.
Eat smarties!
We must be joking!
No, we are serious. We do a roaring trade in tubes of these little chocolate treats, not just because we all have a sweet tooth, but because when the cardboard tube is empty (all too soon) we then fill it up again with our loose change and return it to the Centre. The result? We make over £2,000 a year for our funds. Distribute them to your friends and ask for them back again… filled with change!
Not bad for sweeties!
Sparklefish jewellery
Sparklefish is an online gift shop selling an affordable and original range of goods individually handcrafted in the UK: jewellery, bags, accessories and artwork. 10% of all sales to visitors buying through this page will be donated to Swanfield.
To identify customers visiting from here, we need you to enter the word "SWANFIELD" in the comments box on the Sparklefish checkout page when you have chosen your items.
Do take a look at what is currently in stock - it changes from week to week, and many things are one-offs. These craftsmen and women are personal friends of some of our members. Many of the artists are living and working in Central Scotland, all have connections with Scottish art colleges.
Collection cans
Check out your local newsagent, pub, restaurant, shop, filling station… ask if they would have one of our collection cans beside their till. 30 full cans could bring in over £1,000 each year – can you help to get them out there?
Recycling old phones and printer cartridges
Bring these to the centre
