Tooting is lucky to have one of the 12 scrapstores left in the UK. Taking commercial and domestic materials earmarked for landfill, it is a treasure trove for artists, schools and anyone who has a interest in crafting. Access to an ever changing repository of materials for an annual membership fee, users can visit the scrapstore as many times as they want. Speaking with Gill I was suprised that this fantastic initiative isn’t more widespread, as it supports the environment, the arts and the volunteers who find a home there. I urge you to check it out. https://www.workandplayscrapstore.org.uk/

Episode 11 Tooting Baby
Meeting Issy was a delight as I personally wanted to thank her and her predecessors for the invaluable resource that is the Tooting baby website https://tootingbaby.co.uk/, now also promoted on Instagram @TootingBabyand Twitter @BabyTooting.
The site provides a diary of tried and tested events for parents and caregivers of children up to school age - which are drop in and often free. The site also provides options for parents and caregivers.
A delightful conversation where once again the sense of the Tooting community resounds strongly and the energy of people like Issy working behind the scenes supports local residents and businesses alike.
