History
The Children’s S.C.R.A.P project was founded in 1978, by our founder Mr Bruce Galley in response to cuts in government spending on education, particularly arts and crafts funding. The charities main objective is to advance education and play by the distribution of donated materials to schools, colleges, playgroups, nurseries, community groups and other charitable organizations established for educational purposes.
