In the charity's own words
We are a Wiltshire based charity whose main aim is to promote learning through creativity by making various low cost resources available to the community. These resources include a scrapstore, craft shop, training and outreach service. Scrap is donated by businesses and is anything that would normally go into landfill but is safe and clean for children and young people to use.
