A low-cost community resource centre which stimulates children's imaginations has been praised by South Swindon Mp Sir Robert Buckland.

Sir Robert described the Scrapstore as an Aladdin's Cave of materials.

He said: "It was great to be back to visit the team at Swindon Scrapstore last week. Based at Elgin Industrial Estate, Swindon Children’s Scrapstore is a registered charity and low-cost community resource centre, which has been carrying out some great work here in Swindon over the years. 

"From crafts and play to office furniture and computing, there is something for everyone, so if you are looking for a rainy-day craft activity to keep your children amused over the summer, why not pay them a visit?

"There are many ways in which you can get involved with Swindon Children’s Scrapstore, including donating resources, volunteering, donating furniture and shopping at their town centre shop."
