The Honesty Jar

The BearCat SwapShop originally started quite by chance in 2009

​Sam put out a blanket of unwanted items with a 'Help Yourself' sign at the Sunrise Festival in Bruton,
things started to disappear, and also new things unexpectedly appeared on the blanket.
This continued throughout the weekend, with people popping back to see what new things might have arrived...
and so the SwapShop was born!
​The first official outing was at the OffGrid Conference in the Mendips.
So far, contributions to the SwapShop have been stored in barns to stock the next pop-up swap,
this has meant that some items are damaged due to damp, especially over the winter months.
A new permanent home will mean that the SwapShop can continue all year round, Yay!


The Honesty Jar is now at Grassroots Garden Centre, Stalbridge Road  (A357)  Henstridge  BA8 0SA
