Hosted by Bookface founder Heather Suttie, this feel-good, laid-back event includes a curated book swap with over 300 titles spanning food, fashion, lifestyle and wellness. Bring 2–4 books to swap and head home with fresh reads and warm fuzzies from doing good.

At the heart of the afternoon is a luxury raffle, with 100% of proceeds going to Refuweegee—a grassroots Glasgow charity supporting displaced people with essentials, dignity and a proper welcome. Prizes include beauty goodies, foodie vouchers and book bundles.

Heather Suttie said: “This is about people helping people—and having a laugh while doing it. You get books, drinks and our charity raffle has some fabulous prizes for food, beauty and book lovers!”

The event is set at Rickshaw & Co., a much-loved Indian-Bangladeshi restaurant in Glasgow’s West End, known for great food and big-hearted hospitality.

Co-owner Tushar Ahmed added: “Kindness, food, and books bring people together. We’re proud to support Refuweegee and open our doors to book lovers and their dogs.”

Tickets are £20, including two drinks. Raffle tickets will be available at the event and donations can be made via Just Giving. All the information is here: Bookface Sip & Swap for Refuweegee at Rickshaw & Co.
