What is Swindon Scrapstore?

Swindon Children's Scrapstore collects clean waste materials – offcuts, packaging, fabric, card, paper and more – from local businesses. Members can buy these materials at low cost for craft projects, education, and creative activities. It reduces waste and supports schools, playgroups, artists and community groups.

Membership and who can use it

Membership is typically for schools, nurseries, childminders, community groups and artists. Visit the website or call to enquire about joining. Materials are sold by weight or bag – much cheaper than retail craft supplies.
