Arts and Crafts Supplies:

  • Children’s Scrapstore - we love everything arts and craftsy. Our scrap donation page can help you find out what things we don't need/want, such as paint: https://www.childrensscrapstore.co.uk/donate-scrap.

  • Charity shops - you may have to call up/check with them first if they’ll accept it, but charity shops are likely to accept unused and new arts and crafts supplies.

  • Facebook Groups - posting to creative groups to see if anyone needs or wants them, such as Bristol Creative Network and Bristol Creatives. Someone on there will find your 'trash' their 'treasure'!

  • Nursery and primary schools - you can call up beforehand to double check though. Same with brownies, guides, and scouts.

  • Places that serve the community: local community groups and centres, churches, hospitals, hospices, carehomes, youth clubs etc. It’s always good to offer them donations, but contact them to double check first!

  • Donate to Crafting4Good - they’re currently not taking donations, but they will be a great place to go when they accept donations again, so it’s good to keep them in mind.

  • Olio app - you can list things to swap or give to other local people.
