Arts and Crafts Supplies:
Children’s Scrapstore - we love everything arts and craftsy. Our scrap donation page can help you find out what things we don't need/want, such as paint: https://www.childrensscrapstore.co.uk/donate-scrap.
Charity shops - you may have to call up/check with them first if they’ll accept it, but charity shops are likely to accept unused and new arts and crafts supplies.
Facebook Groups - posting to creative groups to see if anyone needs or wants them, such as Bristol Creative Network and Bristol Creatives. Someone on there will find your 'trash' their 'treasure'!
Nursery and primary schools - you can call up beforehand to double check though. Same with brownies, guides, and scouts.
Places that serve the community: local community groups and centres, churches, hospitals, hospices, carehomes, youth clubs etc. It’s always good to offer them donations, but contact them to double check first!
Donate to Crafting4Good - they’re currently not taking donations, but they will be a great place to go when they accept donations again, so it’s good to keep them in mind.
Olio app - you can list things to swap or give to other local people.
If you have any suggestions, changes, or updates, please email: enquiries@childrensscrapstore.co.uk
