Cornwall Scrapstore Appeals for Support and Membership Renewal

Cornwall Scrapstore, a cherished charity based in Cornwall that has been rescuing useful materials for creative projects and education for nearly 30 years, is reaching out to the community for continued support and membership renewal for 2024. Ben Read, the Operations Manager of Cornwall Scrapstore, emphasised the importance of the charity’s mission in promoting sustainability and creativity across the region.

Operating on a modest budget without the luxury of a marketing budget, Cornwall Scrapstore relies heavily on word-of-mouth to spread awareness about its cause and services. The charity’s appeal is twofold: it encourages current members to renew their membership for the coming year and urges the community to share information about the valuable resource it provides to a wide array of creative individuals and groups, including schools, nurseries, community groups, childminders, youth groups, sewing groups, theatre companies, crafters, makers, and artists.

Membership to Cornwall Scrapstore offers access to a vast selection of rescued materials, supporting a diverse range of creative endeavours at a very reasonable annual fee. This approach not only fosters creativity and innovation but also contributes to environmental sustainability by repurposing and reusing materials.

Additionally, Cornwall Scrapstore is in search of an affordable location to reopen its second store in the Camborne/Pool/Redruth area and welcomes any leads or assistance in this endeavour. The charity’s efforts to expand its reach and increase its impact underscore the importance of community support and collaboration.

As Cornwall Scrapstore continues to serve the community by providing essential resources for creative projects, its call for support and membership renewal underscores the collective responsibility to nurture creativity and environmental stewardship in Cornwall.
