What is Mini-Scrapbox?
Mini-Scrapbox is one of
roughly 100 Scrapstores in the
country. It collects and stores a
wide variety of materials,
mainly donated by companies,
that can then be RE-USED in
the community by drama &
music
workshops,
clubs,
schools and playgroups, for
arts
&
crafts,
design
technology,
etc.
These
materials are valuable play and
art/craft resources.
Mini-Scrapbox is a registered
charity, (number 1050261),
run exclusively by 7 or 8
unpaid volunteers including
the secretary Jim Elliott.
Mini-Scrapbox has a wide
variety of resources :
Mini-Scrapbox aims to
benefit:
 Paper, Folders, Coloured Card,
Tubing, Calendars, Wallpaper etc
 Fabrics: large selection, various
sizes, patterns, textures and colours.
 Zips, Reels of Cotton & Wool,
Foam, Wood, Plastic
 Paint brushes and rollers
 We can get one of a thing or 1,000,
and regularly obtain fresh resources
to stimulate experimentation
 Local community groups and
organisations by offering a diverse
range of materials so they can afford
to experiment. Once a member, you
can use us as often as you wish.
Cost
To register with MiniScrapbox is £8.00 a year and
members then pay affordable
amounts for the chosen
materials.
 Companies & Businesses by taking
away “waste” which is costly to
dispose of.
 Children, by enabling them to fully
use their imagination and develop
their creative skills.
 The Environment by re-using
rather than recycling, which is more
environmentally damaging.
We are working to become fully
sustainable, (independent of
grants), and need new members
to join and use our service
annually.
Play is: sticking, cutting, drawing,
designing, folding… in fact whatever
you want play to be.
Play is important to everyone:
 Young people learn through it.
 Older people share their play
experiences with younger people.
The resources that scrapstores offer at
low cost enable play to happen;
1) affordably
2) experimentally, participating with
others
3) indoors and outdoors
OUR AIM IS TO
MAXIMISE RE-USE AND
MINIMISE WASTE
We believe in making
waste things into play things.

go into landfill, we might help

greener environmental policies.
