Wanting to do something fun (and a bit stupid) to raise money for charity I decided to start a swap chain. I began with a News Shopper keyring, which I traded for membership of a local archaeology group - and I have continued bartering my way through bigger and better items. I eventually hope to trade something for a cash donation of at least £1,000 to be given to a good cause. You can read about my little adventure in this section. If you want to contact me at any time – preferably with a swap offer – drop me a line at sbull@london.newsquest.co.uk |

FROM a humble News Shopper keyring to a £2,000 party offer - Swap Shopper has come a long way.
It started just six weeks ago when I announced I was going to trade up from the keyring to a £1,000 donation for charity.
The keyring was swapped for membership of Bexley Archaeology Group, which was in turn exchanged for two Tony Hadley concert tickets.
The tickets were then upgraded to two tickets plus the chance to meet Tony Hadley, and this opportunity has now been traded for something even bigger and better.
Thanks to the generosity of Bromley businessman Damian Bischoff, I am now offering up for my next swap a £2,000 voucher with prestigious marquee hire and events company Beaumont.
The amazing sum can be used to stage your dream wedding reception, throw a massive party for friends and family or for putting on a lavish corporate bash.
Damian started the company with his brother James 16 years ago and Beaumont is now in the premier league of events management firms.
You'll be well looked after when you use their services and you'll be in illustrious company, with numerous celebrities using Beaumont in the past.
This deal will go to whoever makes the best swap offer.
I want to raise at least £1,000 for charity through my trading so you could offer to make a donation to a good cause in exchange for the Beaumont voucher.
Or you could offer another item, product or service to trade with me to keep my bigger-and-better swap chain going.
