Southampton Scrapstore
Southampton’s best kept secret - an Aladdin’s cave of low-cost scrap and art materials.
We are a registered charity (no. 292075} that collects surplus paper, plastic and goods from local businesses for groups, schools and individuals to re-use for arts and crafts. Join us as a member and for an annual membership fee you can fill up with everything from card and fabrics to rubber, foam and wall papers.
Please note children aged under 12 are not allowed inside the store for safety reasons. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
shop
We sell a range of low-cost art materials and have several hire kits to complement the scrap.
volunteers
We're run entirely by volunteers apart from our part-time paid coordinator John.
suppliers
We are always looking for new supplies - if you've got anything you think might be suitable we're happy to look at it. We have our own van and collect from you free of charge. We get supplies from all sorts - the big nationals to the corner shop - window displays, relocations, closing down sales - B&Q, Asda, John Lewis, Selfridges, IKEA, printers, sail makers and sign-writers.
green
A great idea on a national scale; we stop waste going to the landfill. We provide a convenient collection service to local businesses free of charge. We enable the community to access cheap materials for play and art. We're one of a network of about 100 independent Scrapstores across the UK, many of which we have visited to swap scrap. If you think we're a great idea, why not tell a friend with some of our new wallet cards.
"Southampton Scrapstore is fantastic. I'm inspired by every visit and always leave with something useful."
