ScrapAntics do so many different projects across the city from art and play to events and trips, cooking to gardening, art studios to community drop ins - and of course our beloved ScrapStore. So it can be hard explaining what we do! But our hope is that this film helps to give an overview of ScrapAntics in Dundee and explain our ethos and approach, which is woven into everything we do. A HUGE thank you to talented filmmaker Callum of Wood Chip Films for creating the video for us! https://www.youtube.com/@UC1PBCy_GINSRGfaE8f97o1g https://www.woodchipfilms.com

What a beautiful time ScrapAntics our new Scot community members and Family Club had on our day trip to Loch Lomond! ☀️🏞 We had a wonderful day with the families exploring the Sunny Scottish countryside taking in the sights, nature, and the great outdoors. 🌳❤️🌿 Well done everyone on tackling those hills and the beaten track. Which eventually lead us to the treat of making it to the beach! 🏖🤽‍♂️🤸🍔🥙🧃 Everyone really mucked in and helped for the day before we were all tuckered out in time for home. 🥰😴 ❤️ Big thank you to all the amazing community members who came along and made the trip so extra special. Many thanks to the #EuropeanUnionAsylumMigrationandIntegration Fund , and the @TheScottishGovernment for funding this project and to all Scrap staff members for making this trip possible. ❤️ #lochlomond #communitytrip #family #community #dayout #scrapantics #together

What fun we all had at Fruit Bowls Community Garden with Play Scotland for the National Day of Play! 🏃‍🤸‍⛹️‍♂️ 'Playday' is the national day for play, celebrated each year across the UK on the first Wednesday in August. With the theme of this year being… All to play for – building play opportunities for all children. 🥰 It was great to see our play workers engage with the local community like always and hear the feedback from the main ‘participants’ the young people. On how we can improve play and make it accessible in our communities. 🏃‍🤸‍⛹️‍♂️🚴‍♀️🥰🌟 🌟Big thanks to @PlayScotland for their amazing continue support in making our sessions possible and to Cherie Morgan for taking part in our big day. 🌟 🌟To our play workers and staff for delivering our loose parts play sessions and to Fruitbowls for hosting. 🌟Thanks to @MarkMcGreehinProductions for his video skills and his production team of the young people. 🌟 ❤️And of course special thanks to all the families and our community for taking part all 280 of you! and enjoying the magic of play with us. ❤️ #nationaldayofplay2022 #playscotland #loosepartsplay #scrapantics #community

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. https://www.scrapantics.co.uk/
