Can you help us with our rubbish shopping list?

We are on the hunt for your old rubbish! Yep! We think rubbish is great! You might already know that we do lots of workshops and activities with young people that involve using recycled materials and we have a bit of a shopping list of random rubbish at the moment!

If you have anything that you don’t need anymore and think it might be of use to us for one of our many projects please get in touch… we can even collect!

We are after…

Old paint brushes, rollers, paint trays

Magazines - any old magazines for cutting up/collage/inspiration!
Empty jars - jam, coffee, glass, plastic, any size or shape
