The Algarve’s first frock exchange, held on May 23 at Restaurant Fonte de Pedra in Alcalar, just north of the Meridien Penina Hotel, between Portimao and Mexihoeira Grande, raised nearly €400 for Project Madruga.

Visitors were asked to bring items of high quality clothing to exchange in what is known as ‘Swishing', which in times of recession has become the latest fashion craze in cities from London to New York and Sydney. Inspiration came from the recent BBC series ‘Twiggy's Frock Exchange’ and simply involves getting fashion conscious women together to swap items of clothing they are proud of yet want to go to a good home.
