We have been SO busy over the October holidays with our Family Club. Our Community Worker, Neil has pulled off another phenomenal programme of events with support from partners all across the city!

We had a wonderful day out to to watch some short films and create some artwork based on the stories we watched.

We needed the holidays with a Booknic (a picnic with books) where we read stories, shared food and crafted things to help us tell our own stories.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported our work over the October holidays. Our Family Club had an incredible time and created beautiful memories.

On Saturday 4th of October we were joined by to host "Explore & Discover" - a family fun day as part of 🌟

Students and researchers from the School of Life Science, School of Psychology and Social Science & School of Science and Engineering brought hands on activities to introduce their area of research to our community. 🧠🪴🪐🧫

The families who attended all had a fantastic time. Their feedback was captured beautifully by our very own Alex (ScrapAntics play worker and artist), who ran our evaluation station in the form of "Cell Portraits". Each creation a data rich reflection of an individuals experience. We're super proud of the final outcome. 🤩

Playworkers from the Scraps team ran a loose parts play session all themed around building and testing marble runs. We learned a lot about forces, engineering and materials through play! 🎾

The very kind team at provided a very tasty lunch for us too. Thank you again 🫶

🌿Meet the Team 🌿

Hello, I'm Caitlin - Resilience Worker here at ScrapAntics.

"But Caitlin, what is a resilience worker??" I here you cry. My role is centred around sourcing and re-distributing donations of all kinds throughout our community and educating people about sustainability and climate justice. You'll find me based in our Wellgate Community Hub during the week (including Scrap Thursdays!) ♻️

Aside from my sustainability role I run the ScrapAntics social media and manage some of our larger event projects (like the Hilltown Play Parade!) 🎉

Before I joined ScrapAntics I worked as a science communicator across Scotland - including during COP26 in Glasgow! 🌍

Outside of work I love vegan cooking, going to gigs and crocheting!🧶
