If you've got clothes to pass on, or want to add more clothes to your wardrobe, head to the ‘Clothes for Coins' event in Tauranga this weekend. It's for a good cause – to help raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation.

Today, quality pre-loved clothing will be on sale from 8.30am at the Otumoetai Sports and Recreation Club hall.

Organiser Jen Telfer says the idea came from her boot camp team.

'I run female boot camps in Matua and my boot-campers suggested creating an event where we all gathered together to buy and sell clothes from each other.

'When I saw the interest, I decided to create an event where not only the buyers and sellers benefited, but to make sure a charity close to our heart benefitted too."

Jen says sellers are charged $10 to sell their clothing at the event, which will go to the Child Cancer Foundation. Sellers keep the proceeds of their clothing sales and can choose to donate some or all of their profit if they wish.

Jen says the Child Cancer Foundation has been chosen a good reason.

'One of our boot-camper's sons had cancer when he was very young, this inspired us to choose this foundation as the charity to raise the funds for."

All clothing will be sorted through before the event, to ensure quality, says Jen.

'It's second-hand clothing, we want to keep it quality clothing, something you would want to buy.”

'We have men's clothing, kids' clothing, sports clothing, a variety of different items.”

The Otumoetai Football Club has been a great support by lending their clubrooms to the ladies for the event.
