What is a scrapstore? — A scrapstore is often part of a resource centre like ours.  There are various scrapstores based around the country each servicing a particular community area.  We cover Wiltshire and the surrounding area.

What sort of items are available? — We have a warehouse full of treasures (the Scrapstore) - members fill a bag for a donation of between £3.00 and £8.00.  Scrap is donated by businesses and is anything that would normally go into landfill, but is safe and clean for children and young people to use in creative activities.

What can you do with your scrap? — Members take away the scrap to use in various projects, for example schools often use us for subjects such as Design Technology, Art, textiles, or English and Drama, whereas nurseries might use our scrap to work on craft projects based around a particular theme.  Members can be anyone who has children or who works with them. 

What else do we do? - We run a series of outreach sessions to reach members who can't easily get to us, we run training and workshops, and we run Creative Parties for children. We also have a training room which is available to hire for meetings.
