About Us

Mini Market is a community-led children’s swap shop that started in York. We believe not everything valuable costs money — and not everything needs to be new. Children outgrow things quickly. Perfectly good clothes, toys, and books are passed over while others go searching for the same items elsewhere. Mini Market simply reconnects those dots.

It’s about reducing waste, easing the cost of family life, and creating community in a world that is constantly connected but more isolating than ever.
