Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Our store continues to be successful in providing us with the opportunity to be sustainable and giving us a firm financial basis to extend the services for our members. The significant number of donations gives us the ability to provide low-cost materials for our educational arts and craft activities.

In the other important part of our service, we continue to build up our customer base for our workshop programme some of which was suspended during Covid. Our regular events include after school clubs for Telford and Wrekin, our own in store workshops, Shropshire festivals and workshops for local authorities. We support the local Rural Community Council by providing workshops for their sight loss and friendship groups.

Our Art Award continues to be of huge importance to local homeschooled children and we have a further two students going through the programme.

Our financial position has remained stable during the year, thanks to the hard work of our staff and volunteers and provides a base for an expansion of our activities, to enable us to concentrate on the use of recyclable and affordable materials in the promotion of educational creative arts and crafts.

Scrappies is a much-loved store in the local community and beyond and we continue to support all local activities when asked. We contribute to the local Arts Forum and the Chamber of Trade,

We continue to have great support from 18 volunteers who not only help us to maintain our service to our members but benefit personally from the work that they do.

Our website and Facebook pages continue to generate increasing interest.
