The Swindon Children’s Scrapstore is a registered charity, community resource centre and social enterprise set up in 1985.

The Scrapstore provides low cost environmentally friendly resources for use in recreational, educational and leisure time activities. We collect redundant reusable clean safe materials from local businesses and make these available to the local community.

The Scrapstore is accessible to all members of the community, we benefit over 50,000 people in Swindon each year through the projects and services we provide.

The projects we run Include:
