Walking into ScrapAntics is like entering an Aladdin’s cave of wonderful things.
The scrap store, a social enterprise based on the ground floor of Meadow Mill in West Henderson’s Wynd in Dundee, is run by Sandy Greene, who explains how it came about: “I’m concerned about the environment and am aware we cannot live sustainably if we don’t work as a community and look after each other,” she says.
“For the last 25 years I have worked in schools running interactive environmental arts and crafts workshops, both in and out of doors. When austerity came to town, my friend and colleague Siobhan Morison and I realised schools lacked funding for resources so we set up ScrapAntics in 2016 to help resolve two problems – industrial waste and access to cheap resources,” she continues.
