The Shrodoba Scrapstore in Sheffield provides materials for anyone involved in children’s creative play. Since 1980, the organisation has been collecting clean, safe resources from companies in South Yorkshire and sorting and storing them for use by local play workers. They provide a huge range of items, from giant cardboard tubes to sticky-back plastic and knicker elastic!

The shop also:

  • hires out equipment and items for play
  • sells new resources, including face paints, play dough and pipe cleaners, at low cost
  • provides training workshops for play workers
  • runs creative play events for children
  • sends out newsletters and bulletins on special events
