Scrapstores and resource centres (SRC’s) from around the UK are working to form a Federation.

The idea of the federation is support two main benefits:

Firstly to supply all SRC’s with services, information and support which will help them to function and take advantage of best practise so that they can offer the most to their client or member groups.

Secondly to provide a service promoting SRC’s and bringing together other agencies who provide funding and supplies which could be useful to SRC’s.  For example government agencies involved in play, art and waste, corporations with ‘corporate responsibility’ as part of their working practise.

All of this supports the people who ultimately support children and the environment.

To date we have completed a study of SRC’s and a full report can be ordered on request (90 pages), or alternatively a summary of the report ( 7 pages), can be supplied for a brief overview. At present there is a working group leading the development of the Federation and they can be contacted via the address below.  If you would like to know more please contact us and we will be happy to help.

If you are a Scrapstore or Resource Centre or you are thinking of starting one, please feel free to call and chat through your needs.
