Having set up the Community
Scrapstore
in July 2019,the Trustees
were pleased to obtain our charity
Summary

on 22 October 2020.
The period ofOctober 2020 to June 2021
identifying the difference the was marked
by two Government
Covid
charity's work has made to lockdowns
(5 November
—2 December
the circumstances of its and 6January —12April), which
beneficiaries and any wider inevitably
disrupted
our normal
benefits to society as a activities.
The Scrapstore
had to close
whole. its doors to members,
and supplies
of
scrap resources from our donors
diminished
as their businesses
too were
impacted
by the lockdowns,
although
we did continue to receive some
donations.
However, the Trustees made
a decision not to place our single
employee
on furlough,
but to ask her to
continue to work with local charities and
community
groups to produce activity
and resource packs for local children
who were normally
in receipt offree
school meals. These Boredom Buster
packs were well received and over 450
were produced
and distributed.
Working
in partnership
with Weston
Artspace, we successfully
applied for
funding
from North Somerset Council to
set up a project to support good mental
health via art and creativity,
using a
range ofwaste and scrap materials.
One hundred
at risk adults were
supported
over a 6-month
period via
this project. Once the lockdowns
were
ended, we reopened
the Scrapstore, and
itwas good to welcome existing and
new members,
suitably social distanced.
In February
2021 we were surprised
to
receive notice to quit our premises
from
our landlords.
This necessitated
much
work on the part ofour Manager
and the
Trustees to find suitable
new premises
close to our existing location.
A
decision was taken to lease a much
larger warehouse,
and we are grateful to
Quartet Community
Foundation
and the
Society of Merchant Venturers
for their
support
and encouragement.
Overall, the trustees
believe that they
provided
a valuable service to the local
community
in challenging
circumstances.
