Making Waste Things Play Things
We are a reuse charity dedicated to helping businesses divert reusable waste away from landfill/energy recovery to help improve art and play opportunities for children, young people and adults. With our store based in Bristol we offer:
We have a large warehouse full of varied, colourful and abundant scrap materials fantastic for creative play opportunities at low costs. You can see examples of what scrap we’ve had recently here, or what scrap we’re currently looking for and what we don’t take here. All of the scrap is safe surplus stock collected directly from local businesses and industry. If you would like to donate business waste please contact us. Please bring your Membership/Supporters Plus card every time you visit as you won’t be able to access scrap without it. Our opening times can be found above.
We offer a massive range and variety of arts and crafts materials, and the ArtShop is open to the public as well as our members. All of our products are competitively priced, with all profits going straight back into Children’s Scrapstore. We also offer badge makers for hire. Please contact us for more details.
You can also shop for many of our products on our Online Shop, and you can come into store and collect or if you’re within our local area, we can deliver to your door.
The Playroom and Events
We run Messy Play for Under 5s every week and have sessions for older children in school holidays. You can find more information and book on our events page. We also run parties for all ages. We can also facilitate workshops at Children’s Scrapstore or at your venue, please contact us for more information.
Play Team
We offer a range of training programmes including our renowned Scrapstore PlayPods and consultancy to schools, early years settings, other play settings and any organisation that would like to be more playful. Please see our Play Team page for more information.
