Update:

During the pandemic the premises that we had been using to run SCARF, kindly supported and provided by Wolverhampton College, became inaccessible in accordance with Government Guidelines and its approach to Covid 19.

Whilst this was happening Wolverhampton College underwent a series of changes, which included some external departments being brought onto the main site, where SCARF was positioned.

Wolverhampton College has, again, kindly provided alternate premises for SCARF but it is going to take some time for us to work out the logistics of this new location as well as reconfigure our stock and fittings to make this work.

With SCARF being a Community Interest Company that relies on volunteers and external support we cannot envisage a return to opening the shop until after the summer holidays at this point.

We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate the support and enquiries and will be back as soon as possible. Please do check the website and facebook because if things move faster then we will update here.

Many thanks for your continual support!

As with so many things at the moment we are all finding new ways and new opportunities in these situations. With Halloween coming up and currently Trick or Treat being off the menu – we bid to bring back the Teddy Bears in the Window - but this time in Halloween costume!

If you would like to try this in your area please feel free to share our post! We promote recycling and creativity so we hope you have fun exploring materials you have around the house. Please share photos of any homemade costumes with us - we would love to see them!

These examples are all made from a toilet or kitchen roll middles. We hope this spooky gang might bring a smile to people's faces 🎃

Update: We are based on a college site (which is currently closed to the public) so are unable to open at the moment. We hope to be back to our normal opening times in September and look forward to seeing our lovely customers again!
