Who manages the store?

From December 1^st 2001, a voluntary management committee consisting of parents, childminders, out of school and playscheme workers who contribute to children’s play, has managed the store. All groups identified the need for a local scrap store where they can pick-up unwanted materials given by local companies, for use within their own groups where child centred play is high on the agenda. If you would like to know more about the Scrapstore or would like to become a member, then don’t delay call the office today!
