Pick the type that fits, join online in a few minutes, and shop for rescued materials: most of what you see is free to members, with a small charge for a few items.
What you get
Fill your bag, as often as you like
Fill your bag
Rescued card, paper, fabric, plastics, foam, wood, ribbon and the unexpected, all sorted and put on the shelves by volunteers. Most of what you see is free to members, with a small charge for a few items, so you can afford to experiment, try the ambitious idea, and take home more than you planned.
Come as often as you like
Members shop on every open day, all year, with no limit on visits. Stock changes weekly because donations change weekly, so regulars come with a loose plan and leave with something new.
Belong to something
A friendly store, a volunteer team who know the shelves and love a good find, and a community of teachers, artists, families and makers who share ideas as readily as materials.
Individual membership
Choose the membership that fits you
We never ask anything about your circumstances beyond what's above: confirm you live on the Hazelhurst Estate, or show proof of study, on your first visit.
Individual membership admits the named member. You can add an optional support person to your account, shown on your visitor badge; children aged 12 and over, and parents with prams, are welcome to accompany you.
For groups

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to join to shop?
Yes. You can visit once first, before you join.
Can I renew online?
Yes, from your account.
Is there a family rate?
There is no family rate. An Individual membership admits the named member and one recorded support person; children aged 12 and over are welcome with a member.
Do you post materials?
No, the store is in-person.
What if I already had a membership before the new site?
Sign up with the email we hold and your record connects automatically.
What happens if my membership lapses?
You have 30 days after your renewal date to renew and keep your membership continuous. After that you can rejoin at any time, and your original joining date stays on your record.
How does group membership work?
Your organisation joins once and names the people who collect for you (from two to ten, depending on the band), priced by how many people will use the materials. See how group membership works for the full steps.
