About us
ScrapAntics is a diverse team of over 20 artists, creatives, volunteers, teachers, musicians, community workers, play workers and youth workers - all guided by our passion for social justice.
We are a welcoming, friendly and fun group of people - so if you see us at an event or activity, please come and say hi… We love to chat and to hear your ideas!
A social justice enterprise…
ScrapAntics is a community interest company founded by Sandy Greene and Siobhan Morison in 2016. Since then we have grown to become a team of currently 22 staff and volunteers. We have now diverted over 100 tonnes of waste from landfill and incinerator back into the community as resources for play and creative projects!
Our core values are community, art, recycling and education. Sustainability and equality are at the heart of everything we do and all our profits are invested back into the community.
We are here for everyone, but prioritise working with local people who face challenges through disadvantage. Our aim is to bring the joy and positive impact of imagination, creativity and play to the whole community, and to always put people and planet before profit.
