The Wiltshire Scrapstore and Resource Centre is a thriving, highly successful children's and community charity. Our main aim is to promote learning through creativity, by making various low cost resources available to the community. We have become a valued provider of services and a key contributor to the Wiltshire community.

The Scrapstore is an Aladdin's cave of unusual materials. There are various Scrapstores based around the country, each servicing a particular community area. We cover Wiltshire (excluding Swindon) and the surrounding area. We have one of the largest, busiest Scrapstores in the country, full of 'scrap' material donated by industry, that would otherwise have gone to landfill, to meet the needs of our 3000+ members.

We have a well-stocked craft shop at the Centre which anyone can come along and buy from. In it you will find a wide selection of paints, alongside glues, glitter, feathers, sequins, pipe cleaners, and much more. We also have a varied selection of cards and paper in different colours, textures and thicknesses.

We have child friendly items, such as non-drip water pots, block palettes, finger paints, finger paint brushes, and play dough at very competitive prices.

Mission Statement
The Wiltshire Scrapstore is a registered environmental, community and children's charity.  We collect materials from business, industry and the community that are destined for landfill.  We are a prime source of inspiration and good value art materials and related resources.

Our mission is to promote and enable learning and enjoyment through creative activities, whilst helping reduce waste heading for landfill.

Using reusable material, we enable industry, children and young people, families, community groups and services to actively work together for a more responsible and sustainable future.

Our aim is to raise the profile and support of creative play as a community resource across Wiltshire and to make a positive impact on the lives of children, young people and adults, and all monies raised contribute towards this.
