Work and Play Scrapstore
The borough has a rich cultural heritage, which brings together all sectors of the community. We love WAF for example, which showcases so many different styles of performance and event. Our contribution to WAF is our annual green festival Hazelfest which attracts circa 300 people each year and it's our chance to not only give back with a free afternoon of fun for all the family but also to educate on sustainability.
Scrapstore is a fantastic treasure trove, an Aladdin’s Cave. As an active participant in the circular economy, we present waste and surplus goods as arts and crafts materials to inspire creativity.
You will find paper and paint, textiles and trimmings, buttons and bubble wrap, wood, wondrous props and wallpaper, foam and fine wire and so much more. Stocks vary each week with donations coming from eco-friendly and many big-brand companies.
We’ve been around for over 35 years promoting the green agenda and sustainability.
We cut carbon emissions through diverting materials from landfill and incineration.
We reuse over 60 tonnes of waste each year through our Scrapstore, outreach work, volunteering and artistic adventures.
We have a small annual membership fee that gives members access to the store and saves them money, helps the planet and adds sparkle to any creative craft.
