Welcome to Semilong Community Exchange
Since 2018, we’ve been quietly building a network of kindness from our home in Northampton. What started as a simple idea — neighbours helping neighbours — has grown into something much bigger. Now, as we step into a new chapter, we’re opening our doors to the wider community.
We believe everyone deserves a warm space, a listening ear, and the chance to give and receive without judgement.
What We Offer
Whether you’re popping in for a cuppa or looking for something useful, the Semilong Community Exchange is here for you.
- Donation Exchange – Take what you need, give what you can. Clothes, toys, books, and useful bits for everyday life.
- Hot Drinks & Refreshments – Free tea, coffee, biscuits, and a friendly welcome.
- Conversation & Support – A place to talk, ask for help, or just be with others.
- No Pressure, No Payment, No Questions – Everyone is welcome.
As we grow, we’ll be adding more support and activities.
Why We’re Here
Life can be tough — but community can make it easier. The Exchange exists to lighten the load, share the warmth, and remind us all that nobody should have to struggle alone.
Find Us
Our permanent home is 16 Hester Street, Semilong, Northampton, NN2 6AP but we are hoping to be popping up all over the area!
