Donating Craft Supplies?

85 Posts
in Charities
Hey all,
So about 4 years ago I decided that I would start making cards, I bought a whole bunch of crafty supplies and 4 years later I can't have made more than about 5 cards.
Most of my stuff is either not used or hardly used, it's far too much hassle for me to try and eBay it, but someone else could easily use it rather than binning it all
I've had a quick Google and I found Scrap Stores, has anyone ever donated to them? Or does anyone else have any ideas about where I could take my supplies?
Thanks!

Other groups happy to receive such things direct would be Brownie Packs / Guide Companies or Scout groups, especially if some of the stuff is too fiddly for pre-schoolers.
However I just googled 'therapeutic arts groups Swansea' and quite a few adult groups seemed to pop up. I say this because the charity I work for (not in Swansea) were very grateful recipients of a huge mass of craft supplies from someone who was moving house and no longer had room for a dedicated craft room.
If you want to help animals, you could search on www.Dogpages.org.uk for rescues (not just dogs) in your area, then join their forum and contact the craft person .

I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
