Scrapstore Pops Up Again!

by | Feb 23, 2023

Scrapstore is back by popular demand.

We are holding another Pop Up Event in a different venue.

Come along to Vallis Youth Centre, Vallis Rd Frome on

Saturday 11th March from 1-4pm.

We are focusing on families and will have the usual craft activities for children and Purple Elephant offering a play space for tots.

But teachers and childcare professionals or community groups are always welcome.

Refreshments will also be available on site. Tea, coffee, soft drinks and cake.

Entrance is £1 with children under 12 yrs FREE.

Bring a bag for life if you can, but we will have bags to purchase if you forget.

Our amazing Pod Member Volunteers who are all adults with additional needs are running the event. They ask you to be patient and kind as they are all learning new skills by volunteering in this project. They want to give good service to the Frome Community, but ask for your support in return. Scrapstore is a joyful place where we, in conjunction with the Kindness Festival , ask everyone to be respectful and kind. It takes time to learn new skills and gain confidence.

Come along and grab a bargain or inspiration to get creative or playful. There really is something for everyone at Scrapstore.

Spread the word!!

The venue has some parking, but be aware it may be busy. Please look out for children and pedestrians carrying large amounts of scrap when entering or leaving the car park.
